Welcome back to the 5 Minute Youth Ministry Coach — equipping you to lead students with wisdom, humility, and gospel-centered confidence.   In this episode, What to Do When You Don't Know the Answer, we talk about a moment every small group leader will face: when a student asks a question you can't answer. Whether it's a tricky Bible passage, a deep theological tension, or a personal "why" question, you don't need to panic — you just need to respond with humility and grace. First, admit when you don't know. Honesty builds credibility and models authenticity. Second, discern what's behind the question — sometimes curiosity hides confusion or pain, and students need empathy more than explanations. Third, model how to search for answers together by turning to Scripture, mentors, or trusted resources. And finally, always point back to the character of God — His love, goodness, and faithfulness never change, even when we don't have all the answers.   Volunteer Takeaways: It's okay to say, "I don't know." Humility builds trust. Listen for what's behind the question — curiosity or pain. Use hard questions as opportunities to model how to seek truth. Always point students back to who God is, not just what we don't understand. You don't have to have every answer to be an effective leader — you just need to point students to the One who does.
