Do you ever feel alone in youth ministry?

In this encouraging episode of Youth Worker on Fire, Doug Edwards shares personal stories—from skiing in the Colorado mountains to facing the pressures of student ministry—that reveal the difference between healthy solitude and the enemy's weapon of isolation.

Through the scriptures of Matthew 28:20 and Ecclesiastes 4:9–10, Doug reminds youth pastors, volunteers, and parents that:

✅ God's presence is always with you—even in the loneliest seasons
✅ Ministry was never meant to be done alone
✅ Why youth pastors need a trusted circle of encouragers and prayer partners
✅ The power of weekly connection with other leaders who understand your struggles
✅ How to avoid the trap of running ahead and leaving your family and friends behind

💡 Whether you're a youth pastor, church volunteer, or parent raising teens, this episode will inspire you to surround yourself with people who lift you up, pray with you, and walk with you through the challenges of ministry.

Because you don't just help students stand—you need people who will help you up, too.
