LEADERSHIP RESOURCES
Ever noticed a difference between what your youth group “is” and what you want it to “be”? I like to call it the great divide. As a youth pastor, I used to think that my next big outreach or discipleship initiative would change everything and that my youth group of today would magically change into the youth group of my dreams.
I have also met a lot of youth workers who dream about an improved youth ministry and think it will happen with the passing of time. Over time, they believe their youth ministry will just get better. But time is a cruel trickster. In my experience, youth ministries decline over time; they don’t improve. Only a change in strategy followed by action makes ministries improve.
