Balancing Student Ministry and a Full-Time Job

from The Youth Pastor’s Wife Podcast · host Kristen Cave

Balancing a full-time job and serving in youth ministry with your husband? Girl, it’s a lot. Like, “eat dinner in the car while mentally prepping for small group” kind of a lot.   In this episode, we’re getting super real about what it looks like to show up for your students, support your husband, and still keep your sanity (and your job). I’m sharing four practical strategies that have helped me survive the chaos — including how to simplify your youth night routine, set boundaries that actually work, and finally stop feeling like you’re failing at everything.   If you’ve ever wondered, “Is it just me, or is this actually impossible?” — this one’s for you.   Don’t forget to hit subscribe and leave a rating and review if you found this episode helpful!   Join the Facebook group - The Youth Pastor's Wife Podcast Community - to connect with Kristen and other youth pastors' wives!   Have a question or topic suggestion for a future episode?
