With so many new aspects to doing youth ministry, it\u2019s pretty easy to get stuck focusing on the wrong things, right?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shoot, that\u2019s true in life in general. Maybe it\u2019s\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Something we enjoy doing more, but just isn\u2019t as important.<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<li><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Something that comes easier to us, even though the return isn\u2019t as great.<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Something we\u2019re avoiding or don\u2019t want to do, so we find distractions and rationalize.<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maybe it\u2019s simply the constant lure of the urgent winning out of the important.<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Either way, it\u2019s pretty easy to slip into that funk.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I can usually tell when I slip into that funk, too. For me, when I do, the symptoms include\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">increased stress in my week.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">slowed momentum.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">emotional tension.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">procrastination.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I catch myself doing this, there\u2019s a phrase I usually tell myself:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBrett, you\u2019re hanging Christmas lights.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t get me wrong, I love Christmas lights. For me, that phrase comes from a specific moment in ministry. I was 21. I had just graduated from Anderson University (go ravens) and jumped right into full-time ministry. I was in an awesome church outside of Lexington, Kentucky and doing my best despite having no idea what I was supposed to be doing. For my own mental health, I\u2019m going to assume we\u2019ve all been there (or are there).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>I was trying to do everything on my own<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and had some pretty unrealistic expectations as to what I should be doing and the fruits of that labor. All of that was starting to cause some stress, especially on Wednesdays.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wednesday night was our big night. Games, worship, teaching\u2026probably something similar to your main program. And guess who led the games, worship, and teaching?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Yep\u2026the rookie who hadn\u2019t figured out how to delegate quite yet (though this blog isn\u2019t about delegation). So, as you can imagine, every Wednesday was nuts:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preparing for worship band practice<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finalizing &amp; practicing my message<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Setting up all media on the computer<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Setting up the youth room<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Game prep<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Making copies (who else read that in Rob Schneider\u2019s voice?)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generally running around like a chicken with my head cut off<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Okay, okay, you get it. In fact, you may be living it. So there I was, about 3pm one particular Wednesday and I still hadn\u2019t gotten everything done that I needed to yet &amp; the student band was going to be there in about 90 minutes for practice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My wife calls. She can obviously tell that I\u2019m stressed out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhat\u2019s wrong?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cUgh, just overwhelmed. I\u2019ve just got so much stuff to do.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhat are you doing right now?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and here it comes\u2026<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cUh\u2026hanging Christmas lights.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The following probably isn\u2019t what my wife said, but it\u2019s basically the way that I took it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>\u201cSeriously? Don\u2019t you have more important things to be doing right now? No wonder you\u2019re stressed out.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In my defense, the Christmas lights mattered. The space (concrete block rectangle) we were meeting in had a terrible vibe. Nothing like some sweet Christmas lights strewn about the ceiling to remedy that, right? So, it wasn\u2019t that I was doing something wrong, I just wasn\u2019t doing it at the right time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In all reality, it was probably something that someone else should have been doing (that whole delegation piece again). Without hesitation, I could have asked some parents or High School students to come in early to hang those for me. But for whatever reason, there I was\u20262 hours before things were going to get rolling, doing something that had a much smaller impact on the evening than about ten other things I could have been doing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>So, as you plan out your week, ask yourself, \u201cWhere am I just hanging Christmas lights?\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Where am I not being as strategic as I should be?<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><i>What am I trying to avoid that should be done\/addressed?<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since that experience, a couple of things that have helped me include calendaring &amp; itemizing to-do lists. I started using an app that gives each day its own to-do list. Some of the things on this list are reoccurring.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, I knew that every Wednesday I was going to (try to) write up my weekly emails to parents and small group leaders. Other items on the list were one-off things like brainstorming upcoming events and cleaning the tech room, which I would assign to days that had less important things happening.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How you do it might be different, but for the health of your ministry, your leadership &amp; yourself, we need to be intentional about the things we\u2019re doing &amp; when we\u2019re doing them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What about you?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> What practices have you come up with that keep you from hanging Christmas lights (at least at the wrong time)?<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m going to start this blog off with an obvious statement: 2020 has been a rough year for ministry (and most other things).
