Relationships

In this episode of The FYI on Youth Ministry Podcast, we dive into the relating transitions young adults experience. Discover how young adults navigate old and new friendships, create healthy boundaries, and build trust in relationships. As they enter new spaces, they must decide which relationships to invest in and which to distance from, shaping their social and emotional well-being.

Youth leaders, mentors, and faith communities—this episode is for you! Learn how to guide young adults through these relational shifts while fostering meaningful, healthy connections.
