Justin and Sean sit down and talk about hacks on how to practically rest and take time off well. Too many youth workers do not know how to rest well, which then leads to burn out.

They talk about all of these different things on resting well in this episode.

As Sean is starting in his new position and wanting to walk through some change, he talks with Justin about the process of how to do that. Justin has refreshed a few ministries over the last few years and so what started as a conversation between two friends turned into a great episode that was recorded.

Justin and Sean are talk through how they have made some major adjustments in their own ministries to make sure that small groups ACTUALLY match the values of the ministry. Sometimes we can say that we value something but how we execute the ministry shows something different. @youthministryhacks on IG https://www.instagram.com/youthministryhacks/ Justin’s Resources https://www.downloadyouthministry.com/search?q=justin+knowles&search-button=&lang=default
