Hey, Alabama Youth Ministers!
We know the journey is better together. Youth ministry is rewarding, but it often requires a unique brand of hustle, and sometimes you just need to talk to someone who gets it.
Join the YMlink Unwind Zoom every Thursday at 9:00 AM CT for your weekly dose of encouragement and real-talk community.
This isn’t a lecture or another meeting—it’s a welcoming, informal space where you can:

Share your wins and troubleshoot tricky situations.
Ask candid questions without judgment.
Connect with peers who understand the unique challenges and triumphs of this calling.

Think of it as your essential mid-week coffee break and support system. Just bring your favorite mug and drop in!
