I’ve never heard of the book Accidential Youth Leader, but Marshall posted some good quotes from it.

- Young people are purpose-built by God to shake the status-quo of the previous generation.

- When God went looking for a king, He went looking for a young person.

- There are only 2 reasons you go to school – to eat lunch and to talk about Jesus.

- Position doesn’t give you the right to speak into someone’s life – relationship does.

- The youth leader/pastor who does not honour and serve their senior pastor is a fool.
