It’s hard being a parent. No matter how many training manuals there are out there on how to best parent children, it is hard. As a student minister your primary focus is on students. However, you also have a secondary focus on parents. Not only are you working with parent/child relationships, but you also have an opportunity to help parents be the best.
Even though you may not personally be a parent yourself, you can still help parents be their best. That is why Tom invited Cory Sullivan back on the podcast. He recently wrote a blog post entitled, “Don’t forget the Parents.”
So, in this episode Tom and Cory talk about:
- What Cory has been up to lately
- Why did he write the post about parents and what that means for student ministers
- How student ministers can set parents up to be their best
Cory is a great resource and you can find him
here. You can also follow him on Twitter
here (https://twitter.com/big_sully55). He’s a great resource so hit him up and pick his brain.
Also, if you are looking for someone to coach you in Student or Online ministry, email
