Focus more on reaching kids than upping YL rep.

Thank you for making this podcast! I’m an area director in Seattle and a Podcast junkie. I’ve been listening ever since you started and often use podcasts during my days away to glean new ideas, or find encouragement from others around the mission. I am LOVING the deeper segment and can’t wait for more of that. I used it at my leadership and my leaders are hooked. Keep it up!

This podcast is incredible! It has given me new ideas and encouragement in my ministry through Young Life. It’s also the perfect amount of time so I’m always excited to listen. Gives me a bigger perspective on Young Life and the people that make it what it is!

I recently began a social media fast until Easter and have been needing something to fill my head. This podcast has done even more. With my quieted mind, I've never felt closer with God while away from camp. As a junior in high school campaigner, I have been seeing how much love and effort truly goes into this ministry. Also, Ryder is *the* man. A NEED for anyone who needs the voice of the Father in their weekly routine.

Great show and what a tremendous gift to the mission. The YLPod is preserving the sound and enduring pioneering spirit of Young Life with fitting excellence. Keep telling our stories for years to come. We’re all listening.

Justin Ryder is a wizard on these. The way he brings in music, interchanges dialogue, sticks in quotes from Spiritual Greats is fantastic. You can easily listen to this in the time that you workout, or ride that bike, or walk to the next class (if it is WAY across campus). Young Life has gotten so big that this is genius to keep YLers up on developing developments. bless you, Justin.

Leader as teacher. Love it!!!

Listening to the Young Life Podcast is my favorite 30 minutes of my week!

Young Life's podcast is my favorite thing. Every episode leaves me inspired by the vision and my eyes well up with tears over God's goodness and the heart of the people who are serving in YL around the world. Hearing first hand stories moves me forward in my ministry. The podcast is the highlight of my week. I LOVE it!

Keep them coming ... love the information, love the guests and James Tutson is an amazing musician!!

So thankful for your work and love listening. As one of the older folks in the mission, keep them coming!

Having the chance to listen to this consistently reminds me exactly why I love the fact that I have the opportunity to work for this organization. One of my favorite parts of Young Life as a whole is the HUGE community of kids, leaders, staff, etc. that are somehow grounded by the same mission. To have a weekly reminder of that is incredibly encouraging, thank you all for what you do.

I'm currently subscribed to 20 or so podcasts and this is now my favorite. Although I'm a former club kid, work crew, summer staff, and volunteer leader, this podcast makes me feel reconnected to the organization that I love so much. It is exciting, inspiring, and reinvigorating. Justin Ryder is basically a cooler version of Kai Ryssdal. But seriously, he is a fantastic host and is doing amazing things with this podcast. This podcast is worth your time. Keep up the great work, Justin!

Each week I look forward to getting to listen to the new podcast that’s out. They’re an awesome thing to get to hear more about the people of Young Life, also super motivating hearing about what inspiring things are going on all through the world!

This podcast is full of encouraging stories, innovation, vision, and practical tips on how to do youth ministry better. Can’t wait for more!

Grateful for this podcast. It blesses me every single Tuesday.

I love listening to this podcast each week and being encouraged. A great listen for anyone who is a YL leader or involved in ministry.

So good to hear about other parts of the mission. Thankful for Justin and all the guests on the show. Encouraging, insightful, and entertaining!

This podcast portrays the mission and excitement of young life and their quest to introduce adolescents to Jesus Christ in an honest, transparent, and impactful way. I look forward to each episode every week

Have listened to the first 2 podcast and have found both incredibly helpful. Keep up the good work.

So good to hear from the different voices in the mission!

The Young Life Podcast is storytelling at it's finest. Powerful and engaging stories that will challenge you. This will be and already is a platform for stories to be shared from across this ministry that will change how we see pursue God and pursuing people for the better. That is exciting!

Awesome for learning and growing not only as a younglife leader but a spiritual leader.

This is what Young Life has needed for a long time. A place for us to listen to actual stories and hearing people across the globe living some incredible lives. Awesome first episode! Game changer!! Can't wait for more episodes.

The collective Young Life community is full of creatives looking to gather tips from other people in the mission. Looking forward to hearing from a diverse group of individuals involved in Young Life. My hope is that leaders, staff, and committee benefit from the podcast and that those who don't know Young Life are introduced to the wonder of it.

The Young Life Podcast is challenging, encouraging and empowering. I'm so excited to hear the amazing stories shared on this show!

Loved it!!

So much better than the bucket boyz and I didn't even know if that was possible

This podcast is revolutionary for Young Life. Insightful and engaging, this podcast makes staff, leaders, and friends of YL feel connected across the mission. Thank you for pioneering this!

It launched today and my hope is to be a future leader! I hope that these are posted regularly to accompany me during my leadership training and leadership experience. Love this, it's definitely worth taking 30 minutes out of the day to listen.

These podcasts encourage me about the future of Young Life & help me in my personal ministry as well.
