Episode Summary:
In this episode of Stacking Chairs, Josh and Kyle sit down to tackle one of the biggest challenges in youth ministry: loneliness in leadership. Even in a room full of students and volunteers, many youth pastors feel like they're carrying the weight alone. That's why we're diving into Multiply U, a free leadership training platform designed to help you equip your team, grow together, and stop doing ministry solo.

We unpack why team-based leadership matters, how to break the cycle of burnout, and how practical tools like Multiply U can make equipping your leaders simple, scalable, and sustainable. Whether you're leading volunteers, staff, or just starting to build your ministry team, this conversation will give you hope and a plan.

Key Talking Points:
✅ Why so many youth leaders feel isolated
✅ The "Expectation Monster" every leader faces
✅ Why equipping your team is not optional—it's essential
✅ How Multiply U makes training volunteers easy and free
✅ The role of community, coaching, and shared learning
✅ Real steps to stop doing ministry alone
