Do you ever wonder if your work in youth ministry is making a difference? In this episode of Youth Worker on Fire, Doug reminds youth pastors, volunteers, and parents that every late-night prayer and every tear shed is planting eternal seeds—even when you don't see the results right away. Drawing from Galatians 6:9 and 1 Corinthians 3:6–7, Doug shares stories from his Campus Life days with Youth for Christ, where students came to faith years later from seeds planted long before. Just like farmers wait patiently for the harvest, youth workers must trust that God brings the increase in His perfect timing. In this episode you'll discover: ✅ Why student ministry often bears fruit years later ✅ How to stay encouraged when you feel like quitting ✅ The eternal ripple effect of faithfully sowing into students' lives ✅ Why youth workers are both “planters” and “fishers of men” ✅ How God multiplies what feels small into something eternal

What do you do when ministry collides with real life—tragedy, grief, and the questions no textbook ever prepared you for? In this powerful episode of Youth Worker on Fire, Doug Edwards reconnects with Mark Fisher, one of his first Campus Life students, to explore some of the hardest lessons learned in youth ministry and beyond. From serving as a chaplain near the Texas-Mexico border, to walking through cancer, loss, and tragedy, to pastoring and parenting through deep personal heartbreak, Mark's journey is both raw and inspiring. Together, Doug and Mark unpack: ✅ The role of faith in seasons of loss. ✅ Why youth workers must address the spiritual crisis behind today's mental health crisis. ✅ How Campus Life and para-church ministries shaped a generation of students and leaders. ✅ The importance of partnering with parents—not just students—in ministry. ✅ Scriptures that sustain leaders when burnout, grief, or doubt hit hard (Matthew 11, Mark 9, Matthew 8). ✅ Why youth pastors matter so deeply—because for many kids, you are the church they think of first. This heartfelt conversation will remind every youth pastor, volunteer, mentor, or parent that while ministry is never easy, the seeds you plant may grow into eternal impact—even if you don't see the fruit for years.

Austin and Colin buckle up for the SEC and break down their final conference just in time for week 1. 

I approached our local McDonald's manager with an idea for using his restaurant one night. I asked him if he would let our Campus Life group have it for a candlelight dinner at McDonald's. He said, "Well, that sounds creative, but we can't close and just shut the public out. But we can allow you to come in." Well, they close at 11:00 on a weeknight, so we thought we'd come in there late. So we did it at 9:30. We set up the tables with tablecloths and candles on every table (it was kind of cool!) and all our staff dressed in tuxedos so we could serve them formally at McDonald's. We had a strolling violinist, can you believe it? We called it The Chateau De La Mac. We had about 100 teenagers come from the local high school packed in there and they loved that event. Now, did other customers come in? Yes. Did they stay? No. We took up every seat at McDonald's. We had so packed every corner of that place there was simply no room for anyone or anything else. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Holy Spirit Takeovers." Now, our word for today from the Word of God tells about the birthday of the church, the Day of Pentecost - Acts 2, beginning in verse 1. "When the Day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly, a sound like a blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting." Then verse 4, "All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit." Now, this is actually a picture of what happens when revival, when a stirring of God, when a great work of God is about to break out. Now, Pentecost only happened one time. It's a unique event. But spiritual revival is a recurring event in the life of the church. Scattered through the history of the church are those extraordinary, unpredictable, incredible, powerful Spirit take-overs called revival. We've seen a hint of that at some Christian colleges in recent years. And the key is in that word filled. It means there's no room for anything else. Our group filled that McDonald's that night. And even though others wanted space, we had taken over by filling every corner. Now, if you want to let that happen with the Holy Spirit in your life, or in the life of your church, then that's how revival begins; to move out everything else that could take up space. There's no room for anything now but the Holy Spirit. In fact, this Greek word that says, "The wind filled the room and the Spirit filled the people" is used a lot of different ways. It was used as a sponge that was soaked with vinegar when Jesus was on the cross. There was no room for any other liquid. It talks about people who were full of food at another place in the Bible; stuffed - no room for any more food. The word filled is also used about being filled with an emotion like anger...a consuming emotion where there's no room for any other feeling. Saturated, stuffed, consumed with the Holy Spirit. That's a Spirit takeover, and that's the culminating experience of the Christian life. It's funny we start with no room for Christ in our life; then we make room for Him. We let Him in, and as we grow we finally get restless with spiritual mediocrity and sameness. And then we say, "Lord, would You make me so there's no room for anything but You in every corner of my life?" Oh, look, you may not understand all the theology of this reviving take-over - this filling of the Holy Spirit. I don't either. You may not fully understand this yielding of every corner of you for whatever He wants. The question is, "Do you want it? Do you want to be totally His; to be saturated with the Holy Spirit of Almighty God?" Then tell Him that. You are ready for His revival. Ask Him for that kind of filling 'til there's just no room for anyone else's agenda.
