If I see one post over and over again it’s What are you reading. I like post like these because I am and avid reader and I love to share what I am getting from the books I am reading. I love it so much, I thought I’d do a video a day on my youtube channel to share the 31 Books Every Youth Pastor Should Read. Spoiler alert: Very few of them have to do with youth ministry.
Here are the books linked to the video where I share more about it.
