Summary
In this PART 2 of a two-part episode of the Youth Ministry Podcast for Volunteers, we welcome Jason Engel, a teaching pastor and assistant professor, to talk about the importance of intentionality in youth ministry. Together, we explore the vital role of volunteers, the need for a clear vision of spiritual maturity, and the importance of holistic discipleship that engages students’ minds, hearts, and actions.
We also discuss the value of authenticity in leadership and how volunteers can align with the greater mission of helping students grow in their faith. The episode wraps up with a teaser for part two, where we’ll share more practical ways to implement intentionality in youth ministry.
