In this episode of the First Priority Podcast, Brad and Steve sit down with Sarah Leonard, Ministry Director for First Priority in North Carolina District 1. Sarah shares her journey with First Priority, explaining how student-led clubs are thriving across her district, which includes several counties around Raleigh. She highlights students' incredible passion for leading their clubs, the importance of training and communication, and how students creatively share the Gospel through unique outreach ideas like prayer bears and small gifts.
They also dive into some of the challenges clubs face, such as dealing with students who are assigned to clubs but aren’t interested in participating, balancing student commitments, and navigating concerns from parents and school administrators. Sarah emphasizes the value of building strong relationships within schools, staying adaptable to each campus’s culture, and always supporting the students who are leading on the ground.
This conversation is full of practical advice and inspiring stories from someone who truly understands the day-to-day realities of running student-led ministries. It’s a must-listen for anyone involved with First Priority or interested in youth ministry that empowers students to take the lead and share their faith authentically.
