How to Disciple an Orphaned Teen
A Google search on "Youth Group Leader" will quickly uncover the problem with tossing a 23-year-old single male into the role of disciple-ing 15-16 year old girls. The silliness of modern church methods aside, how does one disciple 15-16 year old girls, and boys? Kevin Swanson digs to the root of the breakdown of the Christian faith, pointing out the shallowness of faith, life, and discipleship. Then he challenges leaders to reassess their methodologies, and work for a radically different paradigm for church in the 21st century (especially in relation to handling youth). The faith is dying. It's time for leaders in the church to come to grips with these realities! This edition of Generations will stimulate ideas and open discussions into new avenues, as we pursue the Great Commission in the next Millennium.
