You can lead a growing church and still lose ground at home.

In Part 2 of Health Matters, the conversation turns to marriage and family. Because your first ministry is not your platform, it is your home.

Pastor Bobby, Ross, and Pastor Robert speak directly to pastoral leaders about protecting what matters most. Health at home does not happen by accident. It requires intention, communication, boundaries, and consistent investment.

They discuss:

• Guarding your marriage in the pressures of ministry
• Creating rhythms that protect family time
• Modeling relational health for your church
• Leading from wholeness, not exhaustion

Strong families strengthen strong churches.

If you want to lead with integrity and longevity, it starts at home.

With Host Pastor Bobby Bogard, Ross Scheer, and Guest Pastor Robert Trice from Relevant Church

Ministry is demanding, and your health determines how you carry it.

In Part 1 of this two part conversation, Pastor Bobby, Ross, and Pastor Robert challenge leaders to see health as stewardship, not self care. If you want to show up joyful, focused, and ready for your family and church, you need a plan, accountability, and consistency.

They discuss:

• Personal health, physical, spiritual, emotional, and relational
• Sabbath rest as obedience
• Leading healthy staff and volunteers
• Building strong team culture within your ministry environment

Healthy leaders build healthy churches.

Part 2, Health Matters, Marriage and Family, releases March 23rd, focusing on leading well at home while serving faithfully in ministry.

What if the future of the Church is shaped not by bigger programs, but by deeper presence?

In this powerful episode of LINC Talks, Host Pastor Ross Scheer sits down with Pastor Ben and Kendra Lepsch, youth pastors at ResLife Grandville, for a conversation that is honest, practical, and deeply encouraging.

They pull back the curtain on what it really takes to build a thriving youth ministry from the ground up, not just attracting students, but creating environments where young people feel safe, seen, known, and spiritually formed.

This is not theory. It is boots on the ground wisdom from leaders who are living it every week.

In this episode, you will discover:

• The key ingredients that help students feel they truly belong
• Practical ways to create safe spaces where faith can grow authentically
• Why relational leadership is more powerful than polished programming
• What senior pastors, volunteers, and parents need to understand about today’s youth culture

Whether you lead a church, serve on a volunteer team, or are raising the next generation in your own home, this conversation will challenge you to think differently and lead intentionally.

If you care about reaching students where they are, instead of expecting them to come to you, this episode will equip and inspire you to take your next step.

Lean in, listen closely, and let this conversation reshape the way you invest in the next generation.

Ben and Kendra also shared about the ResLife OneHeart Youth Conference;

OneHeart Conference is a power-packed weekend full of connection, excitement, and encounter with God. It is a place where 6th – 12th-grade students come to build relationships, be inspired, and be equipped to live as disciples of Jesus Christ. Our desire is to bring students together with ‘One Heart’ and in one accord to encounter God and to leave better equipped to follow Christ daily.

This year, our conference theme is ‘ABBA’.

Our world is lost, like children without a father. The blind are leading the blind into deeper and deeper sin and sorrow. People are searching for significance, but nothing in this world can quench their thirst. They do not know who they are; they do not know their true Father.

Jesus reveals to us the true nature of God: He is a Father! His heart aches for His lost sons and daughters to come home. He longs for this so much that He sent Jesus to rescue humanity from the grip of sin. Jesus came to show the world what God is really like: true, loving, just, merciful, and patient.
