Tune in as we talk about why we dont rest and some practical ways to move towards rest.  Renewal Guide: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/dtfdq7m75z6xfgt/AAAcD0QAbvTyH6cVBqQo5t3ca?dl=0 Follow Scotty on Social: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/scott.keesee/

Are you just doing ministry with no direction? Ive done ministry with no direction for so many years. I did event just to do them and have something on the calendar. I got to the point that i needed to begin to ministry with purpose and a clear vision. I now have a system of how to have more direction and clarity for why i do ministry. It is called the P.O.P.E. Tune in and hear how ive made planning a little more clear and concise when it comes to leading in student ministry. The P.O.P.E Notes: https://blog.downloadyouthministry.com/the-p-o-p-e/

Tune in as a share some of my most memorable ministry fails. The reality is that we are going to mess up in ministry. That is okay (depending on what it may be lol). Its what we learn from our mess ups that matter. Do you grow and learn from the times you messed up? Enjoy listening to some of my ministry fails and hope you leave encouraged.  Insatgram: scott.keesee Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/scotty.keesee/
