There was a philosophy that I heard stated in different ways when I was in youth ministry and every time I heard it, it always drove me a little crazy. That philosophy was something along the lines of “if you can win the quarterback, you will win the school.” And whether stated or unstated, it was the basis of most of the youth ministries I observed. Tons of energy was poured into reaching the cool kids.
This is a fantastic blog (my opinion) from a good friend on frustrating trends in church planting.
Do you think he is accurate, is he missing something or is he just a frustrated "hipster"? 🙂

Well Rob, I’m probably a frustrated hipster, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the good response this post has received, it’s nice to see that more and more folks seem to be catching on to this vision for the church!
Yes!! I agree…but he was better at putting it into words . Appreciate you sharing.
