I have been serving in the youth ministry since 1975, and it's time we youth leaders stop being activity directors and start being ministers.Jack Schmitthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12038675766531924013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31229073.post-80693846207758070232012-01-18T12:05:53.024-06:002012-01-18T12:05:53.024-06:00Kolby, I agree that we've likely been swimming in a post-modern culture a lot longer than we've been aware.Brian Kirkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10340051194193536329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31229073.post-92137929701209725992012-01-18T11:45:33.531-06:002012-01-18T11:45:33.531-06:00Brian, Great post. Are teens already being raised in a post-post modern culture. In canada, we are a multi-cultural, post-modern society. Actually, I think we have actually be in a post modern culture for over 20 years! I wonder if we in the evangelical world are so far behind. Those are a few thoughts!kolbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05921625186205656993noreply@blogger.com
