We’ve been told over and over that healthy things grow. If attendance is up, God must be moving and you’re doing something right.

But here’s the problem: You can pack a room and no one knows a single student’s story. You can high-five a hundred kids and not shepherd any of them.

Truth: Attendance is not the best scoreboard of a health youth ministry.

So, what is? That’s the big question we tackle in this episode of the podcast as we explore these questions: Why are we so obsessed with having a growing youth ministry? How do you define a healthy youth ministry? What are the top indicators of a thriving youth ministry and how can we build one? And more.
