STB129 | Youth Ministry + Pastor Kevin E2 | Cultivate Relationships

Nathan and Pastor Kevin continue their discussion about the challenges of balancing ministry, marriage, and parenting. As a Youth Pastor, Kevin reflects on his desire to be a supplemental voice in students’ lives — not a replacement for spiritually engaged parents. Together, they discuss how youth ministry should support what’s happening at home, not carry it. Kevin opens up about the pressures of leadership, the importance of putting his marriage first, and the lessons learned from marriage counseling and personal failures. He also shares how his upbringing shaped his views on emotional vulnerability — and why he’s committed to being open with his wife. They dive deep into parenting, calling out the dangers of disengagement and the power of simply being present. Kevin’s advice to parents: ask real questions, build trust daily, and don't let fear or shame keep you from connecting with your kids. Whether you're in ministry or not, this episode reminds us that consistency, honesty, and grace are the foundations of impactful relationships. *Please note, this discussion takes place in two episodes. This is episode two.*
