so i gave a talk at my church a few weeks ago for a youth sunday. it went awesome! couldn't have gone better really. i spoke on where teenagers are at today and i pretty much spoke all the info from chap clark's book, Hurt. amazing book and i gave full credit to where i got the information. i have been getting compliments still three weeks to a month out. that has never happened before. i was talking to someone outside of my church about me being a youth pastor, and she said something that was unknowingly rude. she said, "we had our youth pastor come and speak at our main service, and he was really good, i couldn't believe it." it was as if she was saying youth pastors are not really full pastors, they are just half breeds or something of that line, and she was suprised that he actually possessed some talent. and then i started to look back on some of the conversations i have had about me being a youth pastor and i was hearing that stuff all the time. like, "so are you going to be a real pastor one day?" and "you? your a pastor? oooohhhh, your a youth pastor, okay it makes sense now." at my church, i am considered "one of the pastors" and i like that. so that is now what i tell people. "i am one of the pastors at shiloh."
