When it comes to raising children, teaching them to respect their elders is crucial in training them how to interact with others in the future. It seems like empathy and understanding are diminished in our culture and we feel like it must begin in the home. As always, start with the end result in mind, and work towards that end.

We were at an event and asked youth ministers to ask any question they'd like. One person asked what advice we would give to youth ministers (or any minister) that is just getting started. This sparked a whole brainstorm for us about conversations to have when you're just starting out, or even if you are firmly embedded in the trenches of ministry. Today's episode is an overview of some basic ideas to setup for yourself, each of which we can get into deeper.
