What Matters Now? A great question, with endless answers. Seth Godin has put together a great little e-book with some of those answers in the form of short essays. Check it out as a lot of the e-book is very applicable to Youth Ministry!
This e-book is a great read with a ton of short essay answers focused on a singular word that matters to us now. I find a lot of these essays are great inspiration and motivating for youth ministry work, so check it out, a very fun read. My favorite excerpt is “Get hungry – hyena hungry. Get fired up. Find your backbone, and your wings. Flap ’em. It’s the only way you’ll be able to fly.” – J.C. Hutchins on GUMPTION.
