Welcome to After 9 Episode 25: Help I'm Trapped In A Large Church, In this episode Zac and Chad share from the other side of the fence. Companion to Episode 23 this week's episode probes the questions of what it is like to be caught up or caught in, the trappings of a large church with all the resources you want and more leaders than you can handle. Moreover, it can also create a culture of expectation and manipulation as you might begin to believe in your own ability to acheive whatever outcomes you create. Please be encouraged when we say that the grass is not always greener, especially if your heart is green with envy. Hear Chad share his story of finding himself in a ministry six times larger than he was ready for and what it mean to discover and build a youth ministry culture as it was unfolding before him. We close this episode with a good and candid word from our friend Damien who served as youth pastor in a large church.Stay close dear friends, follow us on twitter @after9ministry or like us on facebook.com/after9minsitry.

Welcome to After 9 Episode 24: Help I'm Trapped In A Small Church, In this episode Zac and Chad share one of the recurring themes plaguing many minds in youth ministry, the question "am I stuck in this church?" Whether you call it under-resourced or feel like you have a "larger capacity" we have all felt at times like maybe we could have done more at a place that had more. Please be encouraged when we say that the grass is not always greener, especially if your heart is green with envy. Hear Zac share his stories of moving from working with a full youth ministry into working with a four-kid youth group and how that time, commitment, and expectation revitalized his call to ministry and his faith in the Gospel work. We close this episode with a story from our new After 9 friend Tony who drives 180 miles round trip weekly to pick up students on the church bus and brings them to Jesus.
