The Key to Longevity (Kurt) | YouthMinistry.com

Don’t Be Toolish: Is that a typo? Did I mean to write “foolish”? No. Youth workers fizzle out long before they should for all sorts of reasons, many of which fall into the category of “toolish behavior”; attitudes and actions that needn’t be present in the life of a Christian leader. Sadly the list of toolish youth worker behavior is long: Pride, using volunteers to your own end, favoring one type of student over others, being a promoter of self, breaking trust, constant bragging about growth of your youth group, building a ministry built around your personality, making the church know how lucky they are to have you, complaining about the long hours and low pay of youth ministry.
