While this video is pretty hilarious, sometimes it can feel that way in student ministry as well.

When a large segment of student ministries around our nation may appears to be driven by entertainment and surface-level theology, teaching the Gospel and Truth of scripture seems hard at times.  Don’t give up friends!  If you watched the whole thing, this girl makes it to the top!  In ministry it may feel like we are going the wrong way on the escalator, but Jesus reminds us in Matthew 7 about entering the Kingdom.  “¹³Enter through the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the road is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who go through it. ¹⁴ How narrow is the gate and difficult the road that leads to life, and few find it.”

This journey is worth it!  Hang in there!  Go against the flow!  Teach the Truth!
