From Andrew Root: &#8220;Andrew Root (photo by Courtney Perry) Hello Youth Ministry friends, I’m sorry to interrupt your regularly scheduled blog reading, but I have broken into transmission to offer you an opportunity.

		<title>My Desktop</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love looking at people&#8217;s desk and seeing what is there and how they are working. This is my desktop right now without any tidying up. Around from the top: black speaker (cambridgeworks), Jade plant, wild sage candle given to me from Cathy at Christmas (never burned), Barnes and Noble card, black ink pen, phone, stapler,&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>The Power of Cynicism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One thing has been pervasive for several years in the youth ministry I serve. The leaders will get to know kids well enough to be honest and insightful with the youth about their lives. When you only have 15 kids max, it is easy to get into kids lives. What that looks like and what&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>Youth Workers Roles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just came across the Youth Ministry 360 blog. I can&#8217;t believe I am just now discovering these guys. And they love the Xbox 360 just like me! Anyway, they have a great article about how we see ourselves as youth workers and the roles that we get caught up in. They even have a&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>Resources for Lessons</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just read a blog post by Matt Cleaver and thought, &#8220;What a great idea!&#8221; It always surprises me, though it shouldn&#8217;t, when I see someone else doing something that I do and thought I was an outcast for. I haven&#8217;t been a strong user of pre-packaged lessons and have tended to use books that&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>Holy = Awesome?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am preparing for a new lesson series for the youth here. We have been tackling identity and formation for three years. I keep trying to leave it, but they continue to cling to a couple of foundational ideas. What I want to move onto is how to become the awesome creation that we are&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>Discipleship &#8211; Chap Clark&#8217;s View (and mine)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just read the intro to the Youth Worker Journal where Chap Clark gives his views on discipleship. He starts his thoughts quoting how Gordon McDonald angered him twenty years ago with the phrase &#8220;teenage discipleship doesn&#8217;t happen.&#8221; I guess I am much like Chap, because I have the same response to his post. I&#8217;m&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>The Problem With Christian Education</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Isn&#8217;t it interesting that the church, like the world, has bought into the idea that if we all just thought correctly and knew the right things, then our society would all work correctly. Ever had a conversation disagreement with someone from the other side of the fence? The conversation probably involved both of you trying&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>Blogs I Read</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tim Schmoyer had a great post yesterday on some blogs he reads that most people probably haven&#8217;t heard of. I thought I would do the same. Smashing Magazine &#8211; A great site for all things graphic design. They also cover some coding and lots of WordPress tips. Nettuts &#8211; Another design site that has lots&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>What is Emerging? What is POMO?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just had the most surreal experience. Preface it with the fact that I have had a circuitous route through my faith that has included fundamentalist, modernist, foundationalist, federalist, covenantal, reformed, postmodern, emerging, emergent, liturgical, etc. I have read the thoughts of Schaffer, Pratt, Frame, Ortberg, Pagitt, Jones, Sweet, Packer, Sproul, Tozer, Luther, Aquinas, Augustine,&#8230;]]></description>
