Network Leadership Role: Nominating Committee...Development...Teacher Walking the journey of faith with young people who increasingly realize how deeply God cares for them and experience how wide the bounds of God’s grace are. 2. The part of youth ministry I struggle with most is: Balancing life and work, knowing that the job of youth ministry is never completely finished. 3. My favorite ministry resources are: Colleagues in the field, Youthworker Journal, Journal of Youth Ministry. 4. If I could have a super power it would be: Reading people’s minds, because then you’d never have to wonder. 5. I take care of myself in ministry by: Scheduling time off for myself or to be with my family, resolving not to turn on a computer or cell phone. 6. I would tell someone just starting in ministry: Stop counting! Resist the temptation to please senior pastors and church leaders by suggesting numbers are an indicator of your ministry’s success. Performance-by-numbers is generally a losing game. Martin Buber reminds: Jesus said “Feed my sheep,” not “count them.” 7. I appreciate the Network for: It’s ability to bring together the rich diversity of youth ministry leadership in our church and provide points of connection, encouragement, support, and resources. |
