239: How Should You Best Prepare For Your Role? Interview with MCS-Horizon Students

Noah Reed and Ryan Murray are two youth workers from Winnipeg, Manitoba who open up about how mentorship has shaped their preparation and fruitfulness in youth ministry. Both trace their ministry health and leadership development to intentional mentors throughout their lives—some formal, some unexpected.Listen in and learn about what mentorship looks like in practice, how to find a mentor (even if no one is offering), and why both practical ministry and spiritual mentorship matter. Whether you’re a brand-new volunteer, a seasoned youth pastor, or somewhere in between, this conversation offers practical encouragement and guidance to help you grow in both your leadership and your walk with Jesus.And as Ryan reminds us, the best mentors don’t just call out your weaknesses—they call out your strengths when you can’t see them.Learn more about MCS-Horizon at mcs.edu/about/mcs-horizonHave a question or want to dig deeper?
