On Mission Insights Podcast

On this episode of the Momentum Ministry Partners Podcast, Eric Miller sits down with longtime youth ministry leader Walt Mueller—founder of the Center for Parent/Youth Understanding (CPYU)—for a laid-back conversation packed with perspective for anyone serving students today. Listen as the two talk about Walt's decades in student ministry, how CPYU started (and why helping parents understand their kids' world matters more than ever), and the shift from program-driven youth group to relational ministry that actually goes deep. Walt also shares encouragement for youth workers who feel the pressure—how to keep learning, take a hit, stay rooted in God's Word, and navigate technology and cultural change with wisdom instead of panic. And toward the end, Walt tells a story that brings it all home—one that challenges priorities and reminds leaders why family, rest, and a filled-up spiritual "well" aren't optional. We're so excited for you to tune in and be part of this conversation! Resources from Walt
