Summary: It’s the first Podcast crossover for My Third Decade as I sit down with the Youth Ministry Sherpas to discuss why we do what we do and what we are learning this year. Between the three of us there are 54 years of youth ministry at three churches and 84 years overall.<br><br>Steve Anderson and Matthew McCabe are youth pastors and good friends serving in Maryland. As veteran youth pastors, they are in the trenches with you. They love youth ministry and those who do it. They started Youth Ministry Sherpas because they know what it's like to feel the weight of this calling. Their goal is to create conversations to encourage you to stay in youth ministry for a long time and experience the blessings of longevity. <br><br>Check out their show on iTunes: <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/youth-ministry-sherpas/id1333665959?mt=2" rel="noopener">https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/youth-ministry-sherpas/id1333665959?mt=2</a> <br>The website: <a href="http://youthministrysherpas.com" rel="noopener">http://youthministrysherpas.com</a><br>On Instagram: @youthministrysherpas<br>On Twitter: @ymsherpas<br><br>Mentioned in the show:<br><br>- Youth Pastor Diet: <a href="http://youthpastordiet.com" rel="noopener">http://youthpastordiet.com</a> Starts January 1.
