We all hopefully have realized that we cannot do the job of ministry alone and it takes a group of church members, small group leaders and many others to meaningfully change students through Gospel conversations and so much more, but how do we go about celebrating when leaders are "winning" in their groups? How do we go about leading our leaders in their own growth as a leader as well as have a system of accountability from the ground up? Come join the conversation as Brent sits down with Justin Knowles, Director of Kids and Youth at Sandals Church in California, host of Youth Ministry Hacks and contributor to Download Youth Ministry as they talk about how to create an environment that celebrates "winning" as a volunteer leader in ministry.

Notes Sandals Student Ministry at 11 campuses: Pre-COVID Franchise model: similar at some campuses, and different at others Similar flow, same playlists, same camps, etc. Small group, Large group model Student leads would prepare video teaching, but do LIVE Intro and Outro to video Small groups mid-week Broadcast campus breaks into Junior High on Sunday mornings Push towards serving and then attending Student service During COVID-19: Justin switched to being the main programming lead Full backing of main production team to produce student services online Switched to simulated LIVE after a couple of weeks Measured engagement Engagement has gone down – Zoom exhaustion Noticed students watch the simulated LIVE (more engagement), but small groups have declined Accurate measurements help you to pivot accurately What are you doing to reach students: Pre-service hangs In the middle of a rebrand for Students Social Media strategy Handed this over to another youth ministry lead – delegation Twitch Stream Two youth pastors were already running it, so delegated to them Youtube Ministry is service-based, giving people what they need Youtube is content-based, giving people what they want (so you can give them what they need) Switching to recording in the studio rather than on the main stage Moving all our volunteer training to ONLINE Action Items Handoff something you're doing – like Justin is doing Get leaders connecting with students Create a new summer plan – pivot Get Exclusive Content from this Week's Episode Use the form below to subscribe to my email list where you’ll get an email each Tuesday when a new podcast comes out.
