The Fuller Youth Institute is quickly becoming my favorite source for youth ministry resources. Their latest e-journal features an excerpt from their upcoming e-book Deep Leadership, focusing on the necessity of rest in youth work.
The pitch? Focus on two disciplines: sabbath and the examen. Yeah, I know, its simple. But it also hit me like a gut punch.
While my verbal commitment to these disciplines is indisputable (as is evidenced here, here and here), I don’t really have the application part down yet. I’m taking this as a firm but friendly nudge to put action to my convictions.
