TLH076: Reasons to Leave Youth Ministry

We, the Longer Haul Podcast team, are committed to… well… the Longer Haul. That’s why we do the podcast. We know though, from experience that there are times when God makes it known that it’s time to move on. There are seasons of change.

The big question we all face is how do we know when it’s time to leave? If God doesn’t send a burning bush, how can we determine his plan regarding the current church we’re serving in? These are hard questions and are often super emotional.

In this episode, we tackle the reason WHY you should leave your church and the reasons why you should NOT leave your church. PLUS, Jody shares some personal news related to this very topic.
