Ministry Beyond the Church Walls

Youth group night is awesome—but is that the only way to connect with students?

In this episode of the Third Thursday Podcast, we dive into why reaching students beyond the walls of the church is more important than ever. We’ll talk about the theological and practical reasons for stepping outside our comfort zones, the power of parachurch partnerships, and simple ways to start building relationships—like just meeting three students and learning their stories.

But let’s be real—this isn’t always easy. What if you don’t have a parachurch partner? How do you even get started in a school? And what about that nagging fear of feeling awkward? We tackle all of it head-on with practical insights and encouragement.

If you’re ready to take student ministry beyond Wednesday nights, this episode is for you. Listen in, pray through it, read the show notes, and invite a friend into the conversation.
