[...] Josh posted about an article entitled “What I Wish I Knew about Senior Pastors…” I noticed in the article that 2 of the 5 points were about the Senior Pastor’s involvement/support of the youth ministry. After reading the article, I feel like point #5 is a key way to gain the Sr. Pastor’s support. Here is a quote from point #5 of the article: If you are not updating your boss on the goings-on of the youth ministry, don’t be surprised if your boss is not “up” on your work. All bosses are a little different. Some love email; others voice mail; some love scheduled updates; others prefer on-the-fly conversations; some want numbers; others want stories.

These are so true and great reminders.
