In this episode, Andy Castle explores the vital difference between helping young people know about Jesus and guiding them to know Him personally. Drawing from Romans 8 and his own experience (including a surprising comparison to Paul McCartney!), Andy challenges youth leaders to move beyond teaching facts and towards creating space for real encounters with the living God. Packed with encouragement and practical suggestions for prayer and worship in youth settings, this is a call to help young people walk in freedom with God.

'The Heart of a Youth Leader' is a weekly series, aimed at all those who work with children and young people in a church context.  Each episode is presented by Andy Castle, CEO & Founder of Thrive Youth Ministries.
