hcsp.jpg"You must be really good at your job," my father-in-law said the other day. I was confused. My current job is as an assistant manager at a fast food restaurant. "Not the food stuff," he followed up, "the youth ministry stuff." My last youth ministry job ended nearly a year ago, so my confusion continued and I asked him to clarify. His response floored me... "Because the devil is working really hard to keep you out of church work."

When I graduated from Bible college in 2007, I went back to my home church to be the student pastor. I had mixed emotions about going back to my home church, but over time it became evident that this was exactly the plan that God had for me. The student ministry was very small. We had not had a full time youth pastor in years, and the youth group had diminished.

Students are not creative. They are obsessed with getting everything right and that drives them to mimic. Mimics don't create, they repeat. They don't explore, think, wander or risk. When I was a kid my dad sent me to a day camp called The Island. The Island was actually an island at a local park in the middle of a lagoon.

If trust is a key component to healthy relationships, then it begs the question, "How do we build trust between our youth ministries and the parents of our students?" The list could get long...and obviously we won't all be good at all of the stuff on the list, but I tend to think the area of trust is an area that fits into the classic "chips in your pocket" analogy.
