TRANSCRIPT

00:00:00 :08 - 00:00:45 :01

Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry

Are you looking for and longing for? Youth ministry, leader development that is not dependent upon a leader's attendance to an individual meeting. You know, I even once heard Kurt Johnston, the, famous, like, youth ministry guru from Southern California. He said, you know, your trainings aren't as good as you think. And that was a gut punch, man. Do you want to be in a position where you've communicated to your leaders everything you could possibly ever think that you need to, and still be struggling to find more things to say at your next leader meeting?



00:00:45 :02 - 00:01:09 :18

Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry

Well, let me tell you how I, as we are rounding out the final episode of this mini series that we've been doing, how I in an individual solo pod, how I produce a weekly leader podcast, and all of the things that I just teased are true of what we have going on in our student ministry and on our weekly leader podcast.



00:01:09 :18 - 00:01:34 :08

Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry

And as always, there are chapters listed down below in a podcast catch or here on YouTube. Welcome my friends, to the Hybrid Ministry show. What's up everyone? Welcome to the Hybrid Ministry Show and the completion of our little mini series, how I. And in this episode, we will talk about how I produce a weekly leader podcast, which is a small sliver to a bigger leader culture strategy.



00:01:34 :08 - 00:01:54 :25

Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry

And if you want, like all there is to know about youth ministry volunteers, youth ministry leaders, recruiting, retaining all of that, you need to check out the episode that I just most recently dropped with my boss and friend, Erin Sutton, linked right here at the top of the screen. You can go check that out, but this is a small segment of what we do to help create the leader culture that we want.



00:01:54 :25 - 00:02:23 :29

Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry

With our leaders. And so why a podcast? So let me just back up real quick philosophically and say this. Like, why are we determined and decided that we wanted a leader podcast was we had a monthly leader meeting in our context, and there felt to be so much pressure on that one meeting, for example, like at the August leader meeting or, you know, September leader meeting, we would be like, we need to make sure that we hit all of these onboarding things.



00:02:23 :29 - 00:02:47 :18

Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry

We need to make sure that our leaders know about all of these resources that we have to offer. We need to like, make sure, make sure, make sure, make sure like give me a like or a subscribe. If you've ever been in a position like that where you just feel like there's so much pressure on your one time once a year, or maybe twice a year gathering of sorts, and then, you know, if you're doing anything which you should, by the way, lean into the download Youth Ministry, National Day of Volunteer Training.



00:02:47 :23 - 00:03:09 :08

Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry

Like those those pieces of content and those like events are fantastic momentum builders for you and your team. We're a part of it. We're a customer, so you should check it out. Getting zero kickback from promoting it, but link down below if you're interested in the National Day information. But like if you do those things, you also feel the pressure at those leader meetings like, oh, I got them all together.



00:03:09 :08 - 00:03:32 :28

Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry

I got them all in the room. I gotta make sure I cover all the things that I need to cover. And because of that tension that we felt and we were experiencing, finally I proposed and pitched this idea to my bosses like, let's what if we came up with a weekly leader podcast and I was on an episode, of another podcast, the next Gen coaching Podcast with, Ryan Manning?



00:03:32 :29 - 00:03:52 :17

Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry

I'll link that episode down below. And I told him we had a weekly leader podcast and that it's video based, and he was like weekly, And you could tell his wheels are turning because he had a podcast, but it wasn't weekly. And the
