197: Youth Pastor In A Time Of Pandemic, What Does It Take To Lead Where You Have Not Gone?
In episode 197 of the Youth Ministry Booster Podcast Zac and Chad break it down as real, struggling, pastors, and humans. This is a difficult and unprecedented time. It requires muscles and leadership that we have never exercised so we lack the endurance.
However, there is a hope, there is a faith stronger than ours. We turn to that in this time of increasing weakness to find promise beyond our current circumstances.
Show Notes:
- This is a season to fix the deeper problem.
- Our pain is not a problem to be solved or program to be tweaked but an existential pain to experience, to walk through, and deepen our trust and faith in God.
- The real fix we need in this season is in our willingness to abide in him.
- Check the source of your strength and fortitude.
- We can no longer fake it.
- Stop pretending like this is happening to someone else.
- Don’t allow this challenge to become our character, but to change our character.
- Above all, your people need a pastor who will walk with them through this as it is happening, guide, care, and point them back to the Love that is with us through it all.
