Am I allowed to just say ANY SONG from Shane&Shane?
If I have to pick, I'll go with thier version of "You Said".
oh what high school memories!
Totally agreed. I'm a late-20's male who's in his 6th year of youth work, and had wrestled with not feeling "hip" enough early in my ministry because of what I saw around me... thankfully i was constantly reminded and encouraged through other folks in ministry that very thing - being authentic is more important than being relevant. Not that we shouldn't enjoy style - I think mine has evolved as my personality has evolved - but we def should put our focus on relating on the personal level.
This article is absolutely hilarious. Though, in my area, the stereotype definitely leans more to the collared polo t-shirt(untucked)/blue jeans/chaco sandals (without socks) trend. The Rob Bell glasses are spot on. I always wanted to wear some, but then I noticed that 87.5% of male youth pastors (and more and more females too) at our area-wide gatherings are wearing them. Thanks to your article, I'm heavily considering the Horace Grant goggles. He actually was a super-hero, i'm telling you, he's legit.
