The Heart of a Youth Leader

Episode 4
Why does youthwork sometimes feel like it’s getting smaller, harder, and more frustrating — even when we’re working so hard?
In this episode of The Heart of the Youth Leader, Andy reflects on Proverbs 11 and the way our values quietly shape the size and health of our ministry. Drawing on Jesus’ example and the wisdom of Scripture, he explores how self-focus and convenience can shrink our world, while generosity — with time, attention, and love — causes it to grow.
This is an invitation for youth and children’s leaders to pause, take the temperature of their hearts, and rediscover a Jesus-shaped way of living and leading that brings life, depth, and fruitfulness.
A short, reflective episode to use as part of your quiet time or weekly rhythm.
