TLH129: Secrets to Staying in Youth Ministry

In this episode, I had a great conversation with Eric about what it takes to thrive and survive in youth ministry.

We discuss the importance of prioritizing healthy rhythms, celebrating and supporting other youth pastors and churches, developing effective systems, placing a high value on leadership development, and remembering that ministry is not about personal gain.

We encourage our fellow young youth pastors to stay committed, continue growing as leaders, and trust in God’s plan for their ministry. It was a powerful reminder that the impact we make on our students’ lives is far more important than our own success or recognition.
