A podcast for our volunteers as we grow as a team in reaching students in the Treasure Valley for Jesus.

This episode Gabe and Connor talk about what it looks like to have those tough conversations with students. This is a topic that can go in a lot of different directions, but we believe that as we build relationships, trust, and community with students that tough conversations will happen. We want to be prepared to deal with those.

SHOW NOTES

Questions we asked and answered:

• How do we not “downplay” students' feelings?
• How do we not “give in” to the shock factor?
• After a student has disclosed a sensitive topic, what does that follow up process look like?
• How do you as a small group leader build next steps with that student?
• How do you protect yourself when it comes to bearing the weight of others?
