I’m an associate pastor. Which means I’m the #youthpastor but with a bunch more responsibility. It also means that adults often don’t know how to talk to me.
So here are some real compliments I have received in the past *from adults in my church* after I have preached on a Sunday morning…

The absolute best feature of my office at church is the floor to ceiling whiteboard. If it’s not there, it’s not currently being worked on.

I was raised Baptist (converge), worked in a few non-denominational, Baptist, and Assemblies churches, plus attended a few others in college.
For the last 4 years I’ve been in the #EFCA (evangelical free church of America). I’m home. If you’re looking for a church, give the #FreeChurch a look.
