About this listen
In this episode, Jeremy talks with longtime pastor, professor, and former youth leader Ian Lawson about something every youth worker eventually faces: what do you do when you’re just not feeling it?
Whether it’s emotional exhaustion, spiritual discouragement, or the weight of a busy life, there are days when ministry feels heavy and it’s tempting to pull back. Ian brings wisdom from decades of leadership, teaching, and front-line ministry to encourage youth workers not to give up too quickly, and to help us see how God meets us even in our weakness.
Here are a few of the practical next steps from Ian’s episode…
- Don’t underestimate the power of simply showing up
- Remember that faithfulness over time is how fruit grows in ministry
- When you feel spiritual resistance or discouragement, text a friend and ask for prayer
- Ask God to use even your weakness, trusting that His power is made perfect there
