Show notes

Welcome to After 9 Episode 47: Has It Really Been A Year? In this episode, Chad and Zac look back on what has been an amazing first year of podcasting. We know, we know 47 episodes doesn't exactly equal 52 weeks, but what you need to know is that in the end of September 2015 two guys sat across from each other over cookies and coffee and said that the world of youth ministry needed more honest conversations about the struggles, the expectations, and health. Thank you friends! Thank you for making this first year a dream and we cannot even wait to share and see what this next year will hold! Thankful for Zac and Chad? Love After 9?

Welcome to After 9 Episode 45: Are All Eyes On Me? In this episode, Chad and Zac jump the production schedule to speak about a timely issue. Now more than ever it can feel like all eyes are on those that serve in ministry. This tension between public ministry and a personal call to do ministry can create some terrible anxiety, depression, addiction, and even burn out. Listen in and hear this important reminder to all those that serve in a ministry job but worry about their faithful lives or vocations. Your call is not your job or your office. Stay faithful and not just busy or employed. Thankful for Zac and Chad? Love After 9? Follow us on twitter @after9ministry and like us on Facebook. Want to support After 9?

Welcome to After 9 Episode 44: Am I The Only One Doing A Good Job? In this episode, Chad and Zac probe what may be one of the most central questions to the After 9 audience. If you have served in a vibrant or exciting or fun youth ministry long enough you have probably also taken the time to look over your shoulder and wonder what the rest of your church was doing. Struggles with the Senior Pastor, competition with the Children's ministry, and frustrations with the Worship ministry are all common amongst youth ministry people. Let's talk about what's good, true, and troubling, and find a little hope for our churches and youth ministries. Thankful for Zac and Chad? Love After 9?
