"You can't develop and sustain leaders unless you get motion and momentum on the ground among ordinary people, especially young people."
"Young folk are shaped by what older folk present to them." "If young folk have access to a vast array of courageous and great examples, that will serve as the foundation for their judgment."
For those of you who missed it, I gave an interview on For God's Sakes Radio Show on January 1 about reaching a culture and generation that the Church has lost touch with.
Thanks to the people at Truthcasting, I now have a podcast channel you can not only hear the radio interview but there will also be much more material to come.
Check out the Ragamuffinpc Ministries podcast channel at truthcasting.com
* The interview itself is entitled Reaching Where the Church Has Lost Touch
I was asked this morning to be on the radio this Thursday to speak about college and young adult ministry. It is a great opportunity to spread the word about a demographic the church knows less and less how to reach and particularly about what it does look like.
We have already briefly discussed the reality that this is a group that is rapidly giving up on church, faith, etc. That reality drives a lot of us who doing what we can to reach out to this group.
They have asked that I prepare about 15 questions they can ask of me.
HERE'S WHERE I NEED YOUR HELP!
If you are involved in college and young adult ministry: If you were were given this opportunity, what would you want to be sure you addressed? If you were given an open radio mic to speak about the ministry you love to and for college students and young adults, what would you want to broadcast to many people who do not know how to reach this 'people group' we love?
If you are NOT involved in college and young adult ministry: Do you ever read this blog or hear other things from me and wonder "What the heck is he doing anyway?" If you could ask a college pastor anything about reaching this 'postmodern', 'post-Christian', generation-X-Y-Z, etc., what would you want to ask? Do you just wonder what I actually do at the coffee shop every day? What questions do you have?
I will be on air this Thursday, so I need your questions as soon as possible. You can comment them here at Ragamuffin Ramblings.
You can email them to ragamuffinpc@gmail.com
You can tweet me your questions @ragamuffinpc
