Things They Don't Tell You About
In Youth Ministry
YOU-322
In every occupation there is a written job description and an unwritten job description. The same is true of youth ministry.

Attitude is everything—whether it's character, integrity, personality, temperament, disposition, or

qualities, dissecting them, examining them, and then assembling the ultimate attitude.
