Brett’s Journey
- Went to ministry school
- Learned about the bible/ how to run a youth ministry
- Got a job after 4th year of college
- Saw no growth, despite 4 years of ministry training
- The kids did not show up to hear me teach about the bible
- Kids did show up for events, but they didn’t come back
- Not only did I not grow, I also discovered that working in the chuch is like a massive bolder with the word “ministry” painted on it is placed directly on your shoulders – and it was crushing me.
- I was then told to carry the boulder to the top of that mountain.
- I was stressed, overwhelmed, overworked, underprepared, and I knew that if something didn’t change, that boulder would become to heavy to carry.
- There must be a better way to do ministry.
- One day, I got a little too fed up with some of my older teens boys misbehaving and I broke all off the your ministry rules and I took them to lunch and had a heart to heart where I asked them some hard questions. I shouldered them with the responsibility of their lives and told them to get to WORK.
- I told them I was kicking them off the island (they had never left their town or island) and they were going to get a summer job.
- No sooner had I dont this did they become rolemodels in the youth ministry. They showed up at my house on saturday s for life skills, knowing I would ask them to leave if they goofed around. One of those 4 guys is now the youth ministry director at that very same church. The others spen the next couple of years working at ministries in california and in alaska.
- Then I had an epiphany. I saw tremendous growth, but it wasn’t the result of my hope, or faith, or prayer (maybe in some inderct sense). It wasn’t the result of a caffeine field locking or a water day. The growth came when I took action and shouldered young men with responsibility.
- Growth is not a function of prayer, or faith, or hope. Growth is a direct result of natural revelation.
- In the next video, we will be looking deeper into what this means, how it works, and what you can expect from the rest of this course.
