After serving at my church as a volunteer youth leader for 5 years I can totally agree with your statements. We need to be preaching Jesus not hyping the service up to entertain.

Comment on 14 Reasons I Love My Pastor and Why You Should Know by Anne

I love my church and my new Pastor is great, would not trade him for anything. But I thought I was past the loss of my former Pastor, he took a job in California for 7 years. But they let him go, and now is back in Nebraska–and out of work, it is so hard to believe that his son can let him preach at his church, his son would not be any where with out his father, and most of the Pastors in this city would not be where they are without him. I wish my mega-church would hire him again. As much as I enjoy Pastor Mark, I still miss Pastor Bob terribly. Does the pain of losing a Pastor you loved ever decrease, i really thought I was past it, it has been 7 years, for goodness sakes

What a great thought about students feeling like aliens in their own youth group. Love you buddy!

Agree Matt! My experience is that many students who want to be discipled, who want more of Christ, feel like aliens and strangers in their own youth groups because of low expectations in student ministry. We need to get back to training up/equipping young disciples and sending them out into the harvest, not expecting that all of the lost are going to come in to our churches/ministries. But to be fair to yp’s, many are judged and held accountable to the numbers game.

Thanks Patricia! Dr Alvin Reid is one of the greatest influences on my life and he wrote a book titled, Raising the Bar! I recommend it all the time!

Matt,
There are many youth pastors out there who need these words of encouragement. You need to develop a book on this!
