Pressure isn't punishment — it's purpose.

In this inspiring episode of Youth Worker on Fire, Doug Edwards unpacks what it means when God allows pressure in your life and ministry. Drawing lessons from Steve Irwin's family, Luke's precision as a gospel writer, and James 1:2–4, Doug reminds youth pastors, volunteers, and parents that pressure is evidence of God's trust in you—not His disappointment.

From the early struggles of student ministry to discovering God's power in weakness, Doug shares how to:

✅ Recognize pressure as preparation, not failure
✅ Stay faithful when ministry feels overwhelming
✅ Tap into God's strength when yours runs out
✅ Find peace knowing God uses pressure to shape your purpose
✅ Lead students with excellence—even under stress

💡 Whether you're leading a youth group, teaching students, or parenting teens, this episode will help you see pressure for what it truly is: a sign that God is positioning you for something greater.
