Have we been reading this familiar Bible verse the wrong way?

When God says, “Do not be afraid,” is he giving us another instruction to follow, or a promise to hold on to?

A different perspective on Isaiah 41:10 that might change how you approach the challenges of ministry.

🎧 From this week's episode of The Heart of a Youth Leader: The Gift That Kept Me Going.

What keeps you going when ministry gets tough?

After 15 years leading Thrive Youth Ministries, Andy knows that ministry can be both incredibly rewarding and incredibly challenging.

In this week's episode of The Heart of a Youth Leader, Andy reflects on a gift that has helped him keep going through the difficult times, and shares a fresh perspective on a familiar Bible verse.

What if every church could have a thriving youth ministry?

That's the vision driving everything we do at Thrive.

We believe every church has a part to play in helping children and young people encounter Jesus, grow in faith and discover their potential as leaders.

But churches don't always have the people, resources or confidence to make that happen on their own.

That's where Thrive comes in.

Through supporting youth and children's leaders, connecting churches, developing young leaders and creating opportunities for young people, we're helping local churches make a lasting difference.

Because when churches flourish, young people have more opportunities to thrive. ❤️

What’s keeping you awake at night?

Psalm 4 ends with David able to lie down and sleep in peace — not because all the pressure has disappeared, but because his security rests in God.

This week on The Heart of a Youth Leader, Andy reflects on the pressures youth and children’s leaders carry and what it means to bring those worries honestly to God rather than carrying them alone.

What do we do when we’re frustrated with the church we’re part of?

Sometimes the first place to look is at our own hearts.

Do you ever find yourself comparing your gifts, role or ministry with someone else’s?

In 1 Corinthians 12, Paul reminds us that the Church is one body made up of many different parts. We don’t all have the same role — and we’re not meant to.

This week on The Heart of a Youth Leader, Andy reflects on the freedom that comes when we stop trying to be someone else and recognise the part God has given us to play.
