As youth pastors, we desire to help shepherd students’ hearts to love the Lord and believe in Jesus. Spiritual highs are not our enemy, but a means by which we can disciple our students.
Your students need to know that when they face challenges, God is still worthy of their trust. He’s still in control, and he’s still working. (Is. 46:10; Rom. 8:28).
We need to to encourage our students to trust God’s plans for their lives by modeling surrender and trust as we lay down our desires for our ministry and our lives.
Jesus is faithful: He will carry you, your ministry, and the results because salvation is the work of God.
Our students not only need to hear the gospel; they need to experience and receive it.
What if, instead of setting short-lived fires, we made it our mission to plant seeds that, by God’s grace, will grow and bear fruit over the next 50 to 60 years?
We follow Jesus’ model as we step into the lives of students as ministers of the gospel.
With a prevailing attitude of love that seeks to see and understand our students, we become a wordless witness that frames and reinforces the very gospel message we speak.
