It’s no secret that youth ministry over the last year and a half has been incredibly difficult. What your ministry will look like after Covid is probably still up in the air. One thing seems to be true for almost everyone, what your youth ministry looks like will largely require rebuilding your youth ministry.

On the surface, this can look and feel really discouraging. In today’s episode, Matt Lawson joins the show to talk about lessons we can learn from church planting. Matt is a youth ministry veteran and church planter who now works for NAMB supporting church planters.

This episode is full of encouragement and practical advice and takeaways. So grab a notebook, pen, and some coffee and dive in.
