  1. What are some of the excuses and reasons that some youth and young adults in the church give as to why they are not leaders?
  2. What do you feel God is calling you to do? What steps are you now taking to fulfill the leadership call of God on your life?
  3. What are some of the many benefits of being active in leadership and serving God in your youth?
  4. Are you currently serving in a leadership position in your church? If so what is it? If not are you ready to overcome all excuses and step out into leadership?

End: Pray for those who want to overcome all fears and excuses and step out in leadership so they can reach the world. Then pray for anyone who needs to accept Jesus as their Savior or rededicate their lives to Christ, then take requests.
