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

This episode Connor and Gabe talk with Courtney, our Surprise Valley Associate Minister about how we as volunteers and leaders of our students can help facilitate student relationships.

SHOW NOTES

Questions we asked and answered:

• Usually, once the relationship has been built enough, students will come to you with situations that are hard, and you will need to be able to walk with them through those.
• When a student tells you about a situation where they are either being hurt, hurting someone else, or threatening to hurt themselves, what is the responsibility of the small group leader?
• How do you handle those initial conversations when a student confides in you?
• How do you respond to the statement “If I tell you, you can’t tell anyone, even my parents.”
• If the decision to report the situation to the Students Staff is made, how do you move forward in a relationship with that student?
• Sometimes, these situations result in a loss of trust from the student to the Small Group Leader, how can you negate that loss of trust and build trust instead?
