A regular podcast of youth leader inspiration. Hosts Rachel Gardner and Martin Saunders talk faith, church and culture with brilliant guests from the world of youth work, the wider church and beyond.
This season of the podcast is all about looking ahead towards the future. In a world that feels uncertain and ever-changing how can we as practitioners help young people navigate paths that we haven’t travelled ourselves? How do we chart out safe passage for ourselves, let alone those who are looking to us as we work with the teenagers around us? Come join us as we delve into the unknown, chat to experts and decipher and discern what this could mean for our youth work in this next season.
