Key Takeaways
1) My ministry experience has been difficult to imagine as I’ve personally seen the negative effects and fallout from bad leadership.
2) Going for counseling helped me to process and learn how the outward pressures of ministry stress were taking a toll on my emotional health.
3) We’ve created materials especially with the small church leader in mind, who may not have a youth leader but desires to reach the youth of their community.
4) Shaping Student Ministry exists to come along beside any leader with training tools that will give them the confidence needed to reach the younger generations.
