Signs You’re a Youth Pastor

You might be a youth pastor if…

  • You pick your clothing based on how well it will resonate with teens.
  • To attract people to events, you publicize what snacks you’ll be serving and what games you’ll be playing.
  • You take every opportunity to applaud your hot spouse’s amazing organizational skills.
  • You encourage everyone to bring their “pagan” friends to youth events.
  • While talking, you use the word amazing an amazing number of times!
  • You slip the meat of the Word into youth events just as a parent sneaks veggies into a strawberry smoothie.

Last but not least, we’re adding this one in. The video doesn’t mention it, but if you know, you know!

  • You will do absolutely anything and everything to reach a kid for Christ. That includes changing your wardrobe, ditching your Friday night plans, and bending over backward to show the love of Christ.

We see you, youth ministry worker. And we appreciate everything you do!
