News & Blog Friday

Believe it or not, there is a lot of talk on the web about student ministry. From news to blogs, it's happening all day long. Here are just a few items that we found noteworthy:

• Interview with Tony Jones, author of Postmodern Youth Ministry

• A great video interview by Rob Bell via PremierTV from the UK.

• This will just make you laugh, or at least smirk.

• To disciple or babysit? One bloggers thoughts on programmatic versus disciple based youth ministries. We happen to agree. In fact, so much so that one of our main sessions is called A Leader's Guide to Preparing for the Long Haul. It deals with this very topic.

• A GREAT looking youth website. OH! And did we mention, that the youth pastor there (Judah Smith) is speaking on the impact of technology and ministry? Seriously...why haven't you signed up yet?

And finally...

• "Life is change. Growth is optional. Choose wisely." (Karen Kaiser Clark )
