Called, Committed, and All In: Volunteer Impact at Its Best | The First Priority Podcast | S6, E8

In this episode of the First Priority Podcast, Steve and Brad sit down with Jody Trautwein from First Priority Alabama, for a powerful and personal conversation on what it really means to be "all in" as a volunteer in student ministry.

From life-changing moments at a Carmen concert to seeing hundreds of students come to Christ across local schools, Jody shares how his own story fuels his passion for raising up Student Leaders and supporting those called to campus ministry. You’ll hear inspiring stories of volunteers stepping up in big ways, from a pastor coaching at four schools weekly to a mom who overcame self-doubt and ended up changing the lives of 100+ students.

💬 Topics include:

• The heart behind volunteer recruitment and retention

• Real examples of lives transformed through student ministry

• How to create easy on-ramps for potential volunteers

• Why staying connected to your “why” matters more than ever

If you're a campus coach, faculty sponsor, student leader, or staff member, this episode is a reminder of why we do what we do, and the fruit that follows when people say yes to God's call.
