In this episode, I talk with Reed Moore. Reed just wrapped up several years at the Student Pastor at Gwinnett Church and is just beginning his time as Student Director at Passion City Church. We talk all about what it looked like to create a great ministry culture at Gwinnett Church. Reed walks through some of their common language and values, and how they reinforced them by sharing stories. Then we talk about student leadership and how they utilized students in their own ministry.
