What is healthy ministry? What are the rules that help define a healthy ministry as understood by health-seeking ministers? For us one of the most important is playing the long game (lifelong discipleship) in a short season (3-6 years at best).
In this episode Zac and Chad talk through one of the 7 Youth Ministry Booster House Rules that matter the most towards shaping our community and defining the tone and language for our conversations and goals.
For review here is the full 7:
Booster House Rules
- care over compare
- person before pastor
- work hard, rest hard
- questions not comments
- never do ministry alone
- play the long game (it's only a short season)
- fill, then serve
We are spending this episode talking about the importance of playing the long game in our ministry work. This means thinking about today a little differently, planning next year a little differently, and reflecting on the importance of your work a little more broadly than just week to week.

Love you youth ministry friend, health can be defined, sought, and fought for, if you are willing to do the good work and find the good rest.
