Episode 018: Youth Ministry

What would you do to get your grandkids to go to church? What was Youth Ministry like for YOU? How can parents help their kids thrive in Youth Ministry? Do you make attendance a mandatory experience? Or is youth ministry difficult to attend for your kids? We talk with our special guest Matthew Windsor – the Area Director for Southern Delaware YoungLife – about the state of youth ministry today.

Matt is also the student ministries director at Eagle’s Nest Church in Milton, DE. He is married to Erin Windsor and they have three children, Noah, Ellianna, and Thompson. Matt and his family came to our community by way of the Eastern Shore of Maryland where their families still reside.
