We were at a student conference getting “trained” on how to witness to people.

I sat and listened with my youth group. There were more than 600 students in the room. The guy up front was walking through a pamphlet I’d read at least a thousand times.

Stick around student ministry long enough and somebody will ask you something like this: Are you an event pastor or a relationship pastor? Most of the time the question is asked in a way that lets you know which kind of pastor you ought to be. It’s a ridiculously poor question. It unnecessarily polarizes people. But more importantly, it misses a much larger picture of ministry.
