Criticism and Credit in Youth Ministry

Youth leaders: you will get more than your fair share of credit and more than your fair share of criticism. That’s how it works!

You are probably not as good (or as bad) as people think you are. Be careful not to get a big head when you experience some wins, and be careful not to live in defeat when it all comes crashing down. The best youth workers have experienced and have learned to weather both!
