I just don't get it. Why? Why? And what are they looking for? And how ..nevermind ... I'm just too ticked at them - perhaps it is some "consulting" is in order to present what YM is about not this By-product that they seem to be advertising.

I recently passed on a job that had a similar description and list of expectations. People are always looking for a savior, a pied piper, or something else to do what is the Savior's work alone. We should pray for the exhausted man or woman that takes that job. They probably won't have it for long. That is sad.

I wonder how the youth pastor at the church ranked in the "bottom 5" feels?

Who the heck does this kind of a survey?

How stupid.

Perhaps the reason youth workers move around so much (allegedly) is less because of them and more because of job descriptions like this.
