Last night at our youth leader meeting our youth pastor shared what he feels are 4 marks of a good leader. They challenged me so I'm going to share them with you.
4 Marks of a good leader:
1. Teachability - they are always asking "how can I get better?", "what more can I learn about _______?"
2. Shows Initiative - proactive vs. reactive. Doesn't sit back - actively seeks to know God more.
3. Shows Passion - this is what my life is all about! Our passion should not be our ministry. Our passion should be our Savior!
4. Shows Courage - to stand against the culture of today. Remember that the short time I spend with students each week is what they will remember above all the TV shows and bombardment of our society. What am I doing to pour my life into students? To pass my courage on to them?
We are in jeopardy of losing the next generation. The number of people, per generation, who say they believe the Bible is the inerrant Word of God is drastically shrinking:
My parents generation - 65%
My generation - 35%
The current generation - less than 4%
Let me challenge you. What are you doing to pass your courage and passion for your Savior on to the next generation?

Congrats on the blog--I don't have one,nor do I have any idea how to start so you are way ahead of me. I liked the 4 points--very interesting and relative to life in general as well.
Love your blog! Glad you are blogging so I can see what you're up to! Those statistics are scary! Thanks for the challenging and motivating words. I see you learned the link thing - good job! So you're bi-lingual now! Someday I might bust out the Spanish dictionary and learn a few things - or maybe you can link us "un-bi-lingual" people to a dictionary online. :-)
You got it, Dodds! I put a link on there just for you!
What's up Amy? Interesting stats at the end there...I think we can impact our generation best by making the inerrant Word real in our lives and ministries. Loving people by meeting real needs of both Christians and non Christians alike. At least that's where I'm being challenged right now :).
E aí Amy, as estatísticas lá no final são bem interesantes. Eu acho que o melhor jeito no que podemos fazer um impacto em nossa geração seria fazendo a Palavra inerrante real em nossas vidas e ministérios. Mostrando amor, satisfazendo necessidades reais de cristãos e não cristãos também. Pelo menos, isso é a área onded eu estou sendo desafiado agora mesmo.
Tchau,
