Summer Swing, Part 1 - Retreats and Rest

So much happens in youth ministry during the summer months that it can become a busy blur. Terrence hosts this conversation with Justin and Dorothy, focusing on the specifics of retreat planning and the how-tos of establishing healthy personal rhythms. The three practitioners conclude with encouragements for youth ministers to take care of themselves so they can persevere joyfully for the long-run.RESOURCESRooted Podcast: Maximizing Summer Youth Ministry: Balancing Activity and RestPractical Advice for Planning Your Next Youth Retreat by Josh HussungHow I Handle Discipline on a Youth Retreat or Trip by Ryan OakesThe Practical and the Personal: Keeping Up With Students After a Trip or Retreat by Rebecca LankfordThe Jesus I Wish I Knew in High School: Asian American EditionFOLLOW us on IG @rootedministry!
