The One About Starting Your Fall Better Than Ever

Fall is here, and with it comes packed calendars, high expectations, and the pressure to hit the ground running. But what if starting strong doesn’t mean doing more? What if the most important things for your ministry this fall are the ones that often get ignored?

In this episode of The Shaping Student Ministry Podcast, John and Ian unpack a better way to lead this season. Whether you’re full-time, bi-vocational, or volunteering, they’ll walk you through a practical, sustainable approach to fall that actually works.

You’ll walk away with:
 • A new framework for building momentum without burnout
 • A focus on foundational habits that strengthen your ministry
 • A reminder that faithfulness > flash
 • Real encouragement for whatever season you’re walking into

These aren’t flashy tricks. They’re field-tested strategies that will shape your ministry and your soul long after fall kickoff.

Part 2 is available "Behind the Wall," where we reveal the final two moves and give you the real-world tools to put them into action.
