Connection RequiredDo not allow increasing ministry to
decrease your intimacy, and do not let your service exceed your
worship. These cause disconnection. Its not unique for leaders to lead without the right
heart connection.Your First Two Years in Youth Ministry by Doug Fields, p.65
Quiet PlaceMatthew 6:6 “Here’s what I want you to
do: Find a quiet, secluded place so you won’t be tempted to role-play
before God. Just be there as simply and honestly as you can manage. The
focus will shift from you to God, and you will begin to sense his grace.
