Switch Leader Podcast

Show Us What You’ve Got!

You serve in Switch, you’re on a team, and you know what is expected of you. That may all be true, but what if that’s just the beginning? What if there’s more ways for you to use your “particular set of skills” than you saw on that orientation paper when you first started serving? This week Josh meets with Switch Coach, Karly Simmons, as they talk through what it means to bring everything you’ve got to Switch, lead up, and change the game. 

Could Your Belief Be The Lid To Their Potential?

Often times we find ourselves being motivated when our students are behaving well, and discouraged when they’re not. What if we considered the idea that every season and every type of behavior is an opportunity for us to lead them toward their God given potential? This week we have a special guest joining us and her name is Kathy Davis. Between being a camp director and a high school leadership teacher, she has over 30 year of experience investing in teenagers. Be sure to take some notes as Kathy has some great insight to share with us.

Who Am I? Part 2

We are halfway through our series "Who Am I?", and it has been great! We've been challenging students to write Gods' word on their hearts through scripture memorization. This week, on the podcast, we hear from Switch content writer Kaitlyn Caffrey, as she reviews the previous few weeks and shares the vision of where we are headed!

Ever Feel Like You’re Not Making a Difference?

Youth ministry is not for the weak. It can be incredibly rewarding, but it can also be tough. If you’ve ever found yourself wondering if you’re even making a difference, or just feeling like you don’t know what to do next, this episode is for you. Big thanks to Ellie Berry for joining us to share some of her experiences in youth ministry.

Let’s Talk About ”Switch Family”

This week on the podcast Jenn Gordon  and Josh Baldwin talk about what it means to say we’re a “Switch Family”. Most of us know what family looks like, but this week we discuss how important it is for us to create that type of community in our Switch Groups!

Series Overview: Who Am I?

We just wrapped up the Switch series "Who Is God?" and this week we start a brand new series called "Who Am I?". As a Switch leader, it's always important to know where we're going so we can be prepared for the conversations we may find ourselves in. This week we talk about the upcoming series, the heart behind it, and what to expect. 

Story Time

We usually talk about ways we can improve as leaders and followers of Jesus, but today we're changing things up a little. We get to hear stories from different Life.Church campuses painting a picture of God's redemption coming out of Switch!
