Listen "Summer is a Shift, Not a Shutdown"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Josh Baldwin sits down with Kennadi Foster, Youth Pastor at the Catoosa campus, to explore what it looks like to lead well while resting well during the summer. As the school year ends and rhythms change, many youth leaders face the tension between resting well and staying relationally engaged with students. Josh and Kennadi discuss how summer isn’t a time to shut down—it’s a time to shift gears.
You’ll hear practical ideas for staying connected with students during the break, ways to pursue spiritual rest and renewal, and why maintaining momentum over the summer matters more than we think. Whether it’s planning low-key hangouts, encouraging students in their faith, or simply showing up with intentionality, this conversation will equip you to embrace the season and lead with purpose.
