How do we get it all done? There are always so many things to do in student ministry and some of us are left asking that question on a regular basis. While we cannot control everything, there are a couple things that we can begin to take control of that will help us significantly in the area of time management. And when we begin to see results in these two areas, we'll begin to have more time for connection with others and to grow more as leaders.

We all know our student ministries shouldn’t be solely run by adults. We need to raise up student leaders. But how do we do that? What does it look like? How do we start it, how do we tweak it, and what things do we need to have in place for it to succeed? In this episode of Student Ministry Connection, we share 5 ideas around student leadership that we encourage you to consider—whether this is your first time around or if you’re looking to improve your existing student leadership.

What happens when you fail, when things aren’t going so well--whether it’s your fault or your unfortunate situation? When you start to feel like you’re a failure, you may also begin questioning your call to ministry. But what if God was still in control and still had plans for you? On this episode, we talk about failure, because we’ve all been there; and if we’re honest, sometimes it gets really tough to navigate. With the help of today’s guest, Mike Haynes, we’re going to share some ways to navigate failure in student ministry.
