In a world filled with stress and pressure to perform, anxiety about cultural expectations, and depression from being isolated to a screen, the culture in America is killing our teenagers from the inside out. We aim to provide hope and inspiration by taking the Hope of Christ to Every Student. We want to provide teens a place to belong, opportunities to make a positive difference, and bring life-changing transformation to their life and those around them. Our core focus is to help 300,000 students in 4,650 different schools experience the hope of Christ by December 31, 2023. This podcast is part of our strategy to get the word out to the believers of Jesus in the United States to help encourage, equip, and empower Christian students to share their hope in Christ with their peers. Listen in and join the movement today!

In this episode, Steve Cherrico sits down with Debi DeBoer, who has been with First Priority Greater Birmingham for over 27 years. Debi shares her inspiring story from youth ministry to equipping Student Leaders through First Priority.
Debi highlights how their Leadership Summit has grown from a single event to multiple city-wide gatherings, expanding student participation and enhancing community outreach. With over 600 Student Leaders trained this past year, the Summit serves as a catalyst for mobilizing students to share the Gospel on their campuses.
Key Takeaways:
- “Why do you expect students to come to you? Go where they are.” — Debi shares her ministry philosophy.
- The importance of equipping student leaders to be missionaries on their campuses.
- How localized events can increase participation and strengthen community engagement.
