I find myself at a very frustrating time in my life as a Youth Pastor. I thank God that he doesn’t have a panic button, because I do. Our teenagers are plagued with so much pain and sin, I am finding myself wanting to teach it all NOW…we need a series on SEX, MONEY, FAMILY…but we need it all now! Families are falling apart. Kids are crossing every line imaginable sexually and the average teen will spend $50 for a PS game but won’t drop a dime in an offering. God is in control…and he doesn’t panic and so today I lean on his peace. However, deep inside…
Do you ever feel this way?

my passion…FAMILIES…we need to reach them all-the parents the kids,and the youth…Use us Lord, use us…
Thank YOU God that YOU are in control, help us to focus on that at all times…especially when we want to panic. AMEN.
Sean, I share your struggles with this. I want to help them, to teach them, to yell and scream that they need Jesus. All I (we) can do it trust God to take care of it. Focus on your relationship with Him and be a good steward of the ministry He’s given to you. Follow God’s direction, and you won’t fail.
Sean, I feel the same way about the youth that is why I had to come back to working with this group. Being a nurse who has worked with cervical cancer for a long time this is especially important to me. I hope to do more teaching in my career about the ills of youth with sex and STDs. Frankly I would love to shout it out to every young person I know!
