Our very own Mike Ensley is featured on Boundless today:
… Teens get involved in risky behaviors; we expand our list of don’ts. They’re drawn to worldly influences; we decry them from the pulpit. The media push the envelope; we boycott. And the numbers get worse every year, the gap between Christians and the troubled next generation growing ever wider.
Having spent some time on either side of that gap, I know the common frustrations of youth and those ministering to them. I’ve gotten a chance to make both kinds of mistakes, and afterwards learn a thing or two about what is getting lost in translation in the sometimes forbidding world of youth ministry…
Good job Mike.

From a christian youth perspective, are we training our kids in what they believe and why they believe it?
Is the lack of faith (e.g. lack of guilt) due to the fact our youth lose belief in God? If no one is watching us, everything is permissible.
I know the teens and 20s are tough for all kids. Sex, loneliness and disappointment drive us nuts. they drive us to a lack of judgement.
