Cultivating Empathy, Humility, and Influence

Being the most dedicated, best of the best type of leader, comes with some big advantages. That being said, it also presents some real traps we can fall into if we aren't careful. In this episode, Kaitlyn Caffrey and Josh Baldwin talk about how to cultivate empathy, humility, and influence.

Questions Parents are Asking

This week James Meehan and Josh Baldwin talk through some real questions that parents are asking about Switch. Our hope is that this episode will help highlight some things parents feel out of the loop about, as well as things parents value in their relationship with Switch and with you. 

Series Overview: Jesus Songs

The Songs we listen to really do help shape who we become? They influence our language, our negative and positive thoughts, and sometimes they even influence our belief systems. For this new series, Switch Worship created a new song to match up with each of the topics over the 3 weeks, and to show our students just how much  influence the lyrics of a song can carry. 

 

Listen closely for the challenge we hope Switch Leader and Students will take!

Students Need Guides, Not Managers

Most adult's love to give advice, and while that seems harmless, it could be the thing handcuffing your influence the most. This week James Meehan and Josh Baldwin talk about how to be a helpful guide, and not just another adult. 

Don’t Squash the Conversation

Each week during small group we have new conversations with our students. Sometimes it's about their personal lives, and other times it's about the message we just watched. Regardless of the topic, it's likely that something you talked about was important to them. In this episode James and Josh talk about how to show them that it's important to you too, and how to continue the conversation.
