The Heart of a Youth Leader

Lean Less on Yourself | Proverbs 3:5-6

May 12, 2025 • Thrive Youth Ministries • Season 10 • Episode 2

In this episode of The Heart of a Youth Leader, Andy reflects on the busyness of youthwork and the spiritual cost of always being “on”. Drawing from Proverbs 3:5-6, he challenges us to step back, take retreat seriously, and trust God deeply — not just with our plans, but with our whole hearts. If you’ve been running on empty, this is your invitation to slow down and reconnect with the One who sets your path straight.

🎧 Take 10 minutes to reset — and maybe even book that retreat.
