mistake #6 – family feud
At Pointe North, Sunday is the Super Bowl every week. We gear our energy, resources and creativity toward that end. However, when you are the leader of a “support” ministry often it is easy to allow the enemy to plant seeds of jealosy in your spirit. I deserve more budget, I need more staff, I need more this and I need more that. Afterall, I run a service just as dynamic…these are all phrases straight from the pit of hell and everytime I thought or uttered these words Satan laughed his tail off.
I am ashamed to even say I did utter those phrases. I was annoyed when other ministries got resources I felt I deserved. It caused me to distrust my team and took my focus off of the overall vision.
Listen, youthpastors we have an incredibly hard job that most people will never be able to understand. However, it is up to us to do what God called us to do with what we have been given. Fight for your ministry, fight for your budget but DON”T FIGHT THE FAMILY OR THE VISION!
It took a while to build the trust back from my team and my pastor. Heed my words, and don’t make the mistake I did.
