Leadership
We have a number of set backs over the past six months that contributed to my stepping down from youth ministry. A number of key leaders that I had grown to depend upon stepped away from leading the youth. Job transitions and personal issues lead to this reduction but the net effect was to place
Motivation
The winter months are a time of difficulty for me personally. I see the son very little and it tends to effect my mood.
Relationship
Youth ministry is a relational objective. My one hope was to have a good relationship with the youth. I would poor into them and in the process receive some of the benefit of that relationship. But over the past few months I’ve been feeling that increasingly the youth were seeing me less and less as a some to relate to and more and more like a chauffeur for there social life.
Time
Youth ministry is not my only priority. Its not even my number one. But youth ministry takes a lot of time. Over the last few months I’ve been looking for ways to decrease the amount of time while still maintaining a level of success.
