Some of My Greatest Joys in Youth Ministry
- Helping a student work through his doubts and issues toward spiritual health
- The phone call from a student who trusts me enough to ask for help
- Getting an invitation to a student’s event when the paid youth staff don’t 
- When a student who blew off my advice comes back in frustration and asks how I knew what would happen if he went down that road
- A student who says thank you
- Serving in ministry alongside volunteers who used to be my students
- Parents who ask how they can help (and they’re not trying to invade their child’s space)
- When a student and his family becomes like family
- Students from years before Facebook was created send a friend request to reconnect
- Encouraging or giving guidance to another volunteer leader (and the occasional staff member)
- Writing my thoughts in my blog and being affirmed by other leaders who have been helped by it
