In youth ministry it’s easy to become overwhelmed by programmes, pressure, and expectations — and slowly lose sight of the reason you started in the first place.
In this episode, Andy reflects on the importance of returning to your why: the calling God has placed on your life and the people He’s entrusted to you. When we lead from that place of clarity, our decisions change, our resilience grows, and our ministry regains its sense of purpose.
If you’ve been feeling tired, distracted, or unsure of your direction, this episode is a gentle invitation to pause, remember your calling, and refocus on what truly matters.
