Catalyst Lab Session 1
12:37 PM
We kicked off the morning right
here at Catalyst this year!! We started off with a little worship with Aaron
Keyes. And then we heard from David Kinnaman! For more on him you can go
HERE!
David talked a lot about the major
shifts and changes that are happening in Culture and how are we as church
leaders going to respond and act.
He asked one question that I can’t
get out of my mind!
What does it mean to be present with this Generation?
That goes beyond thing “we think
will work”! It suggests that we will do the hard word to figure out how to be
present with this next generation of Christ followers! How will we effectively
make disciples!
Here are some stats taken from a
group of students who left the church after high school. They asked them some
questions and here are some frightening statistics!
Percentage of students that had
an adult mentor at church // 17%
Effectively learned how the
bible applies to my field or interest area // 16%
We shown that Jesus speaks in a relevant and
personal way // 20%
The question that I
have to wrestle with is what does it
mean to be present with this Generation?
What do you think??
