Youth Ministry Is Relational, but what does that mean? Have you ever wondered how to maximize relational opportunities in youth ministry? That's exactly what Zac and Chad are unpacking in this episode. 

Chil or No-Bean Chili?
We kick off the show with some winter joys and a feel-good chat about all things chili. There's even a bit of a friendly debate on Wolf Brand chili and I share the recipe for my favorite homemade version. Chad's friend eating it cold is a monster by the way!

Youth Ministry's Greatest Leverage = Relationships
As we shift gears, we dive deep into the world of youth ministry and the unique relational opportunities it offers. 

But How? 
We share our insights on how to best utilize these opportunities, emphasizing the importance of setting aside time before services to build connections with students and leaders. We explore the various activities that can foster stronger relationships, such as pre-gathering activities and casual chat spaces. 

Consider the potential of high school and older student leaders leading these activities and how an inviting atmosphere can be created at the door with clear expectations set for adults. 

It's almost a new year friends, so buckle up and get ready to hear some real-life strategies that have transformed our youth ministry experience.  It's an important time for thinking relationally about your youth ministry.
