MINISTRY LEADERSHIP
Practical workshops to help you lead healthier teams, build stronger ministries, and create lasting impact.
Hippos to Honeybees
Many youth ministries unintentionally produce consumers. Students show up, engage with great programming, find it meaningful…and go home unchanged. We plan better events, work harder at mid-week engagement, and still wonder why students seem spiritually passive. There’s a better way. In this session, we’ll introduce the Hippos to Honeybees discipleship framework, a proven approach that equips every youth leader, paid or volunteer, to shift students from passive consumers to active contributors in God’s Kingdom. You’ll leave with a clear picture of contributor-driven discipleship, a fresh vision for what God wants to do through your students, and three immediately actionable priorities to take back to your ministry. Your students are ready to contribute. Let’s build a ministry that expects it.

THE MINISTRY WIVES TRACK
Whether you're married to a student pastor or faithfully supporting your husband as he serves as a volunteer leader, ministry is something your family experiences together. There are unique joys, challenges, sacrifices, and victories that come with loving students and serving the local church. That's why we've created intentional spaces just for you. Through dedicated workshops, meaningful conversations, refreshments, and authentic community, our hope is that you'll leave encouraged, refreshed, and connected with women who truly understand the journey.
Many women in ministry quietly lose touch with who they are outside their role, confusing self-erasure with sacrifice. This workshop names that struggle honestly, draws on the identity framework from Burn the Boxes, and moves attendees through worship and guided prayer to help them reconnect with who God made them to be. Women leave with language for what they've been carrying and a tangible next step toward wholeness, not just a role.
