Isn’t this how we lead back when we were youth pastors?

I checked in on the Leadership Summit yesterday. It was cool. I am always up for learning something. This morning I came across this Seth Godin video from Ted and it dawned on me. All the leadership styles and talk of tribes and how to lead…we’ve been doing it for years…in youth ministry. So maybe keep an eye on what your youth pastors are doing, because your whole church is going to be doing the same stuff in ten years.

    there is 2 HUGE differences between youth pastors and sr. pastors.

    NONE of our attenders contribute to the budget. youth ministry is a financial loss. so we don't really care about making money or not taking a sunday off because we won't get offering that day

    yeah, we get number obsessed and whatever else, but when i have to start sucking up to the executive who makes a million a year, my ministry is going to be tainted and off focus and i'm going to sacrifice purity of vision.
