We all know that if we want to lead others well, whether that’s in ministry, at home, or in everyday life, we have to pay attention to our own health. We’re not just talking about physical health, but emotional, spiritual, mental, and relational health as well. In this episode, Amy, Chris, and Sass have a real conversation about what it looks like to take care of ourselves so that we can better care for the people we lead and love. They talk honestly about the challenges of staying healthy in busy seasons, and they suggest some simple rhythms that can help you stay grounded. It’s a practical and encouraging reminder that healthy leaders and parents make a lasting impact, not because they’re perfect, but because they’re present.

In this episode, Amy, Chris, and Sass dive into the importance of connection. God designed us as relational people, wired to know and be known. Yet in the busyness of life, we often miss opportunities to truly connect. We unpack what that looks like in our church, especially as we help kids and teens build meaningful relationships that point them toward a faith in Jesus. But we don’t stop there. We also talk about practical ways parents can lead their families toward the kind of connections that give life and strengthen faith. Because in the end, connection isn’t just something we occasionally need to do; it’s essential to our health and well-being. If we want to see faith grow deep and last long, it makes sense to do everything we can to help families connect.

We also recorded a special bonus episode just for parents. In it, Brian and Ed offer specific encouragement and practical advice to help parents lead with purpose and faith through the youth sports journey. Share it with the families in your church or community!
