Youth ministry isn’t meant to be done alone—especially in today’s world. In this episode of Youth Worker On Fire, Doug Edwards unpacks how building strong ministry teams, embracing spiritual support, and trusting God’s angel armies can transform how we lead and protect the next generation.

You might feel like you’re carrying your ministry alone—but you're not. Not even close!

In this eye-opening episode of Youth Worker On Fire, Doug Edwards shares the unseen truth behind powerful youth ministries: they're never built solo. Whether it’s a behind-the-scenes prayer warrior, an organized army of volunteers, or even angels on divine assignment, real impact happens when we embrace the team God’s already given us.

Doug weaves together stories of military precision from Navy SEALs, near-death encounters with angels, and his own decades in student ministry to show how youth workers are backed by a spiritual support system way bigger than they realize.

⚔️ You’re not just leading students—you’re fighting for their souls.
And Heaven has your back.
