How can student ministry help solve the challenges teenagers face today? Venture into the vibrant world of student ministry with our guest, Josh Mitchell, as he shares how the landscape is evolving. As a student ministry pastor, Josh talks us through how we can engage our young people in meaningful conversations, taking their eyes off screens and allowing them to voice their concerns about a variety of cultural issues, including the increasingly visible struggles with doubt, depression, and gender identity.
Josh reveals the secret to creating a safe, nurturing space for our students - it's all about the relationships we build. In this episode, we leave no stone unturned as we explore the many forms volunteering can take, from leading Sunday school lessons to small group discussions and game sessions. With Josh's invaluable insights, we learn that the key to motivating students lies in being present, listening, and guiding them with empathy. Don't miss our discussion on the often overlooked golden opportunity that is student ministry.
