I was given Mike Yaconelli’s Getting Fired for the Glory of God by a pastor who used to work in youth ministry. I’m reading it. Blowing me away. You should read it to. Or maybe you shouldn’t. Maybe it is just awesome because God is using it to speak to me right now. Either way, I’ll recommend it.

i’m not through it yet. It is a collection of Mike’s writings on youth ministry.
The big idea is this: in ministry we serve Jesus, not our boss, the parents of students, elder boards, expectations, policies, or ministry plans.
that’s what i’m gathering.
i like it
