Youth ministry is hard! Growing up in youth group and seminary training cannot prepare you for the real-life experience of being on the job. If you are feeling the weight of responsibility for the spiritual development of teenagers, take some time to learn from a veteran youth pastor. In 10 Mistakes I Made in Youth Ministry, Steve Eatmon shares key mistakes from his ministry experience to encourage the next generation of youth leaders to lead with greater wisdom and grace.
With honesty and vulnerability, Eatmon examines errors in ministry philosophy, relationships, leadership, and process, showing not only what went wrong but how God used those moments to shape his spiritual growth and ministry practice. Readers will find practical guidance for teaching, discipleship, student engagement, volunteer leadership, parenting partnerships, discipline, hiring and vetting, and attention to administrative detail.
10 Mistakes I Made in Youth Ministry includes end-of-chapter questions suitable for personal reflection or group discussion and offers real-world tools for bringing Christ to teens through effective teaching, gospel-centered discipleship, and healthier ministry practices.
