Thanks for the response and the advice. I don't necessarily want to be a youth pastor, but I want to be a positive influence in the lives of teenagers that otherwise may not have one. YoungLife is the organization I am mainly considering, if you are familiar with it. This may be a terrible misquote, but one thing I have heard from Sinclair Ferguson says, "Preach the Gospel at all times, and when necessary, use words." That really sticks out to me because it seems to be the most effective way of speaking to kids today.

Hey Rob, thanks for doing this AMA. It's always good to see people thinking differently about traditional Christianity. Recently, I've been feeling more and more drawn to youth ministry - specifically with older students. I think God is calling me to this ministry in one area or another. I am a sophomore in college and am very unsure of what I want to do with my life. Could you give me any advice pertaining to my situation and as to how you became involved as a youth pastor?
