Maybe.
Or they are trying to continue to chase that sentimental high by expecting a particular form of liturgy to fulfill them, but will eventually fail them again.
Young evangelical men are sprinting to Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy to escape evangelical youth group culture. This is driving them out! They are trading sentimentalism/emotionalism for tradition, history, doctrine, and high liturgical practices.
If we want students to leave youth ministry with theological depth, we must recognize that solid theology isn’t microwaved; it’s cultivated.

Quick fire answers to some thorny questions:

There is a Women's pre-conference with @NancyGuth3 and a Student Pastor's Summit with @Ecclesiologian and friends.
And my good buddy @zachccochran from @TGC will be leading a breakout.
It's truly one of the most wonderful times of the year.
@jdgreear@SummitCollab I have had the joy of worshiping with, commissioning, and serving alongside 4 of those 113. Jacob Clutts on that stage being the 4th.
Incredible what what’s happening with this vision + support. Each one is flourishing so far. Grateful.
Just got my hands on my friend’s, @DrJTPennington, newest book. Jonathan has taught me more about discipleship in the context of the gospels than anyone and he embodies it as a pastor and friend. Get your copy.
