Handling and Overcoming Disappointments in Youth Ministry: With Relational Discipleship

In this episode, Danny sits down with Josh Newton, the Pastor of Student Ministries at The Orchard Evangelical Free Church in Barrington, Illinois to discuss the challenges and joys of engaging in relational discipleship with students. Danny and Josh discuss some practical ways youth leaders and volunteers can dig deeper into the lives of students, as well as offer gospel encouragement for youth ministers who feel disappointed with how they’ve navigated relational discipleship. Whether you are in a fruitful or frustrating season with relational discipleship, we hope you’ll be blessed by Danny and Josh’s wisdom in this episode. Resources:Check out more Rooted resources on relational discipleship here. Join us for our 2024 Conference in Dallas, TX!
