Trust us when we say that there comes a time in all ministry callings where something will not go your way and you will face discouragement. Don’t get us wrong! We love what we get to do! Youth ministry can truly be one of the most rewarding gigs out there. But with great potential for reward comes the great potential for disappointment.

When that happens, what do you do? How do you stay the course, keep your eyes on Jesus and not get discouraged? We know we don’t have all the answers, but we did take time to share some of the things we’ve found helpful along the way.

We hope after listening to this one, you’ll have the tools you need to stay encouraged for the Longer Haul!

Oh yeah… and JOIN THE FACEBOOK PODCAST GROUP! We’d love to have you.
