If you're in real youth ministry, this Youth Leader's Coach, "Dealing With Attitude Problems In Your Students," is probably one you'll want to play from time to time.

Chances are you probably have run into attitude problems in your students in the recent past. The attitude issues that you'll encounter cover such a wide range: the "sin is cool" attitude, the "rebellious and proud of it" attitude, the "run the youth group down with sarcasm and cuts" attitude, or the apathetic "drop dead - I don't care" attitude (and there are so many more). Realize that these attitudes don't just show up in your students - you'll find them in adults, in your leaders and even your own family. We often have to check ourselves because they can so easily appear in our own life.

So sit back and enjoy as I share some of the lessons I've learned over the years in dealing with an issue we all face.
