Summary: 20+ years of youth ministry comes with it’s share of struggles and failures. In this episode I walk through four failures in how I approached ministry at different points along the way. <br>1.Not catching the vision to invest in and empower leaders.<br>2.Dumping instead of delegating.<br>3.Siloing our Student Ministry.<br>4.Letting my ministry = my identity.<br>I’m grateful that I’ve been able to identify these failures and grow through them. <br> <br>Check out the other amazing podcasts in the DYM Podcast Network and submit questions: <a href="http://podcast.downloadyouthministry.com" rel="noopener">http://podcast.downloadyouthministry.com</a> <br>THE PLACE for YM Resources: <a href="http://downloadyouthministry.com" rel="noopener">http://downloadyouthministry.com</a><br><br>The Socials:<br>Facebook Page: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/mythirddecade" rel="noopener">http://www.facebook.com/mythirddecade</a><br>Follow on Twitter and Instagram @mythirddecade<br>Check out Derry's resources on Download Youth Ministry: <a href="https://www.downloadyouthministry.com/shop?author=28" rel="noopener">https://www.downloadyouthministry.com/shop?author=28</a> <br>Email: <a href="mailto:derry@mythirddecade.com">derry@mythirddecade.com</a> <br><br>Special thanks to our sponsor Give Central: <a href="http://givecentral.org" rel="noopener">http://givecentral.org</a>
