Description

What if your vision for ministry is way too small?

In this powerful episode of Youth Worker on Fire, Doug Edwards challenges you to break free from short-term thinking and start planning—not for the next 5 years, or even 50—but for the next 300 years.

With inspiration from global missions, a major automotive company's long-term strategy, and the eternal focus of Jesus' Great Commission (Matthew 28:19 –20), Doug unpacks how youth pastors, volunteers, and parents can prepare the next generation to carry the gospel far beyond our lifetime.

You'll discover:

✅ Why the church must plan like Jesus might not return for centuries—while living like He's coming today.
✅ The shocking truth about unreached people groups (even in the digital age).
✅ How to build a generational legacy of faith that outlives buildings, budgets, and programs.
✅ The eternal difference between building earthly organizations and building heaven's population.
✅ What Proverbs 13:22 teaches about leaving a spiritual and practical inheritance.

Whether you're leading a youth group, mentoring students, or raising teens, this episode will expand your vision from the temporary to the eternal—and inspire you to lead with heaven in your sights.
