April 15, 2017

Sometimes being a leader means that you need to have some tough or challenging conversations. In the world of student ministry, that often means you will be faced with having to confront a volunteer leader or you may need to challenge a parent in a manner that may feel uncomfortable.

In this episode, Kenny interviews veteran student pastor Ben Markham about how to tackle and navigate moments when we need to resolve a conflict or have a tough conversation with one of our leaders or with one of the parents of the students we care about. Ben shares great wisdom and insights from his years in leadership and pastoral ministry. Ben has been in student ministry for more than 15 years. Ben currently is the Lead Student Pastor at Discovery Church, a multi-site mega-church in Orlando, FL.
