Tyler ShickMore PostsEpisode 140: The 6th Love Language

This week Doug, Matt, Josh, and Katie gather round the table to talk youth ministry and answer your questions. After Doug admits to liking podcast team members more than everyone else the real content begins. In a follow-up to last weeks discussion about finances and raises, there’s more encouragement for those in tough places (and Doug manages to put Josh on the spot again). The gang also talk about time management, spiritual maturity, eye patches, the Simply Youth Ministry Conference contest, working through drama with students, Matt’s love language, and everyone’s favorite show, Wipeout.
