Summer doesn’t slow down for kids ministry — and the pressure to keep going can quietly drain even the best leaders.
In this episode, Tom, Ben, and Vicki talk honestly about what summer really feels like: the comparison trap, volunteer fatigue, VBS planning stress, and how to protect your mindset when every other ministry around you seems to be taking a break.
You’ll walk away with a practical framework to shift from survival mode to sustainable leadership — including the “Day One, Week One” mindset, how life-change stories can re-energize your team, and why working for Jesus changes everything about how you show up.
Kids ministry burnout is real. But so is the clarity on the other side of it.
