Ever feel like people aren’t taking you seriously in ministry? Like your leadership and influence aren’t respected the way they should be? You’re not alone. Credibility in ministry isn’t automatic—it’s earned.
In this episode of The Shaping Student Ministry Podcast, John and Ian break down the real reasons why student pastors and ministry leaders struggle to gain influence—and how to fix it before it costs you your ministry.
What We’re Covering:
✅ Why financial integrity matters more than you think—not paying vendors, missing deadlines, and cutting corners kills credibility
✅ Stop looking for handouts and start investing in your ministry—free resources won’t fix a broken system
✅ How to lead with confidence—stop apologizing for your calling and start owning your role
✅ Why self-deprecating humor undermines your leadership—you don’t have to be the joke in the room to be relatable
✅ How to stop making sports the enemy and start fighting for families—ministry is bigger than Wednesday night
✅ What to do when people walk back into church after being gone for months—shame is never a growth strategy
