Youth Ministry United

YMU IS BACK! Tyler & Matt discuss hacks on how to transition well. The conversation is surrounding transitioning into a new ministry and transitioning into a new role within the same church. Lots of student pastors over the last several years have transitioned into new roles in the same context, or transitioned into new ministries altogether. It's important that we crush these transitions! How do we do it well? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/youth-ministry-united/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/youth-ministry-united/support

Josh Griffin, of Mariners Church and Download Youth Ministry, joined us for a conversation surrounding the idea of ministry letdown. Most all of us have started back into youth ministry, much of which looks different because of the last year and a half with COVID-19. Maybe you've tried new things, maybe you have trouble finding new volunteers or have a lack of volunteers because some stopped. All of this combined has a chance to bring about letdown when it comes to doing ministry. Listen in on our conversation for all that... and more!  Subscribe. Rate.
