Camp and Conversations that Matter

For teenagers, it’s conversation. In this episode of the Deep Roots Leadership Podcast, Jerry Welch sits down with student minister Ford Rigney to talk about why summer is such a strategic season for student ministry. From camps and mission trips to pool parties and late-night conversations, Ford explains how intentional time together helps students build friendships, grow in vulnerability, and deepen their walk with Christ. The conversation also offers practical encouragement for parents and leaders who want to create meaningful spiritual conversations at home and make the most of the summer months through intentional connection and discipleship.
