Sad but true, I was a youth Pastor for a unamed Pastor who told me that my job was to get the Youth Fired up so that they would jump and shout when he preached.
I was wanting to get them grounded in a relationship with Jesus, and cling to him as their only hope. Essentially deal with root issues rather than fruit.
