The wise Christ follower should always consider God’s counsel as they consider big decisions, even which school to enroll their children in.
Our mission as youth pastors and leaders is to show our students how to love Jesus and tell others about him. The enemy would love nothing more than for the distractions he sends our way to frustrate and exhaust us out of our calling.
If children truly matter to Christ, then they should matter deeply to his church, not only in what we believe about them, but in how intentionally we disciple them.
When we pray the Lord’s Prayer and ask for forgiveness, we do so not with trepidation and terror, but in humble trust and joyful gratitude, for we know that we are truly and fully forgiven.
Biblical hospitality is less about grand gestures and more about a posture – one rooted in the welcome God has already extended to us, and one we’re invited to practice in the everyday moments of youth ministry.
Our job as parents is to be as faithful as we can, forever trusting in Jesus to guide us and give us the strength to do what we’re called to do – even when afraid.
Differences don’t prevent us from connecting with fellow youth leaders, even if they’re dating or married. They’re our brothers and sisters in Christ, and we’re called to glorify him together.
