Episode Synopsis

Your lesson is prepped, your leaders are ready, the snacks are out… but the students? Scattered. Travel ball, AP homework, rehearsals—and let’s be real, some just don’t show.
In this episode, John and Ian dive into one of the most relatable challenges in student ministry: how to disciple students in a culture of inconsistent attendance. You’ll walk away with ideas to shift your mindset, refocus your strategy, and stop equating faithfulness with full rooms.
Topics include:


Why showing up isn’t the only metric for success


What it looks like to redefine the win


How to disciple students when schedules get in the way


Building intentional rhythms and micro-connections


Why Jesus wouldn’t panic about your numbers (and neither should you)
