Finding Rest as a Weary Youth Pastor with Curtis Zachery

"You are more than what you produce. It's hard to believe that. Because the only way that you have learned to measure your consistent presence in your position is based on the outcomes. But God is looking at you and saying 'I'm already proud of you.'"
In this helpful workshop for Rooted 2023, veteran youth worker Curtis Zachery shares a pastoral perspective for youth pastors who steward complex and ever-changing ministries. From his personal experience, Zachery helps youth pastors see their need for prioritizing their time with Jesus, learning to love him, and accepting the rest he offers us.
At Rooted, we have a heart for children to develop faith in Jesus Christ that lasts. The most influential factor in determining whether a child will attend church as an adult is an accurate understanding of the Gospel- God’s unconditional love for sinners through Jesus Christ. Therefore, we are equipping leaders and parents throughout the country to practice gospel-centered youth ministry in the church. We long for every child to hear the gospel of grace, be taught the word of God, be mentored and discipled, and be prayed over and for- through their church and at home each week.
