Youth Ministry and Life. Inside Deech Kirk's Head. January 16, 2012. Over the past five years, I have been blessed to get to know Kara Powell and Brad Griffin from the Fuller Youth Institute. In 2006, I got my first glimpse of the initial findings from the College Transitions Project research when Kara presented at AYME (Association of Youth Ministry Educators). Since then, I have followed closely FYI’s findings as they relate to what they have coined Sticky Faith. The research itself did not provide sho...

Youth Ministry and Life. Inside Deech Kirk's Head. April 28, 2011. Am I a racist? I like to believe I”m not. Is the church racist? I like to believe its not either. We try to act like we are not. CYMT’s second year students are looking this week at a piece of Beverly Tatum’s “Why are all the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria? 8221; She rightfully points to fear. Why are we so afraid of the other? Why are we so insecure in our place on the bus that we can’t let others sit beside us? You are com...

http://howdoibelikechrist.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
