SAN ANTONIO, TX—After years of toiling in a not-quite-a-real-pastor job, local youth pastor Chet Walden received an offer for a real pastor position Thursday, sources confirmed. According to reports, Walden immediately accepted the offer without reading any of the details, commenting to friends that he had “arrived” and his time of pre-pastorate testing was at an end.

I cannot tell you how many times people would ask me when I was planning on becoming a “real” pastor. Other friends were more careful, and would “encourage” me by stating how they could see me becoming a senior pastor some day.
While my faith in God and passion for the church remain, my life experience and view of scripture has led me away from working as a “pastor,” so I guess that I never was a “real” pastor.
But I share this for all my friends who work in youth and young adult ministry, may it cause you great joy and laughter.
