About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of student-led ministry and its impact on discipleship and faith ownership.

Student leadership isn't a program—it's a pathway to deeper discipleship, stronger faith, and lasting ownership in the Church. In this episode, Eric sits down with Doug Franklin, founder of LeaderTreks, to talk about what it really means to build a student-led ministry. Drawing from more than 30 years of leadership development experience, Doug shares why empowering students to lead isn't just a nice idea—it's one of the most effective ways to combat apathy, develop future leaders, and help students take ownership of their faith.
