Send us Fan Mail"Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall" - Proverbs 16:18  There is an unhealthy attraction of the narcissist to become a youth pastor, or a head pastor or a worship leader...but as the proverb says, this can lead to destruction.  Obviously, most of those serving in ministry don't fall into the camp of the "prideful narcissist;" however, pride can find ways of creeping into our heart based off of position, authority, leadership, etc.  So how can we avoid this in our lives and in our ministries?  Today, we will be looking at some of the damage that pride can cause and also some ways to avoid letting pride in to ruin us.We love hearing from you all and we do our best to provide powerful and insightful youth ministry content on a weekly basis to be that coach and mentor you may not have, but desperately need.If you have a story to share or have an episode idea, please E-Mail us at [email protected]!  Thank you for those who have submitted!If you have it on your heart to support this ministry, please consider going to our Patreon page at: www.patreon.com/ministrycoachYou may also enjoy these episodes:(#096) Best Methods for Promotion Sunday - Youth Ministry Planning!https://www.buzzsprout.com/974710/episodes/10426813(#102) WARNING!
