All i need to do is tell my story, it’s the example of an effect to the cause that you expose in this concept. These kids lives that you touch are changing them joe. its important, and i thank God for you and your life and your family.

I agree with your thoughts. Transition from youth ministry to beyond was the genesis of this blog post.

The parents may be the mayor but the city council :) has input that matters greatly in the development of a teen… (thats youth group and its leaders), the support of the citizens further influences the teen. God bless you Joe!!!

It still bugs me when kids get grounded from youth group, but we can’t forget that, like you say, “youth group isn’t everything”. If it is, we’re setting our students up to have a really rough transition when they graduate.

]]> Comment on The Hidden-side of Ministry and Life by joepuentes http://joepuentesblog.com/2011/11/04/the-hidden-side-of-ministry-and-life/#comment-57 Sun, 06 Nov 2011 05:24:00 +0000 http://joepuentesblog.com/?p=834#comment-57 Hey Lito,
You are definitely someone I love and am thankful for… I am so blessed to know you and your family! Thanks for the encouragement, I know some won’t understand – I’ve had to tell people that I’m not a depressed person, just someone who struggles with depression at times (big difference)… I’m praying for you brother.
Grace & Peace,
Joe

I could say you have hidden it well. Especially as someone who would claim to know you. I appreciate your transperency on this subject. This past year was the first time I ever struggled with depression and I thought I was invincible to it based off my personality. Yet it was a difficult first year back into full time ministry. Now you opening up is an encouragement that it can be something people (Pastors) talk about. I opened about my stuff with my boss and was highly encouraged to seek out a counselor outside of our church it was a huge blessing to my life and my families. I love and pray for your family. Your openesss is a huge encouragement to many.
