GUEST POST: We All Have Superpowers

I love it!

Just a reminder today student pastors: you have super powers! Your words can change a student’s outlook on their entire week!

Proverbs 18:21 “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.”

How can you use your words to build up five students right now?

Text five students an encouraging Bible verse
Comment on five student’s Instagram photos and let them know you appreciate them
Hand write (and mail) a two line “You’re awesome because…” note to five students
Find out five student’s favorite snack, buy them, and give them to them during your next meeting with a post-it note of encouragement attached.

Get out there and use your super powers. Encourage a student today!

Ronald Long is a DYM Author and youth pastor. Great words to live out today!
