Summer Ideas for Youth Ministry [Podcast, Episode 8]

PODCAST IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE.

In episode 8 of the Ministry to Youth Podcast, we interview Jody Livingston of the Longer Haul in Youth Ministry.

This episode is jam packed with a ton of awesome summer ideas for your youth group.

My favorite quote in this episode is…

“Don’t build a youth ministry, build a culture”.

Wow, there’s a LOT of truth to that quote, and Jody unpacks that idea further in this episode.
