Created for Rest
Resting. It’s not something our generation is particularly good at, nor is it a high priority for us. We are overstimulated, overworked, and overly focused on the wrong things. But the practice of resting is important to God, so it should be important to us too. From the very beginning, God established a rhythm of work and rest, culminating in the Sabbath—a gift meant to rejuvenate our spirits. As we explore the significance of rest in our lives, we discover that it’s not just a pause from work, but a vital connection to our Creator and a glimpse of the peace to come.
Avoiding the Burnout Trap
We all know how it goes: a new volunteer joins the youth ministry with joy and high hopes, only to leave sad and embittered a short time later. This is the story of burnout—a common off-ramp for many volunteers in student ministry. But can we help them avoid it? The answer is YES! By understanding what burnout truly is and clearly defining the role of a student ministry volunteer, we can create an environment that fosters growth and fulfillment. Discover how clarity and thoughtful guidance can transform your ministry and support your volunteers in their calling.
