Don't believe the hype...
Another good article on Youth Specialties - this time on "Managing Manipulation".
It warns of the danger of getting an emotional response, a "one-time decision" from young people rather than making disciples.
This is something that often comes up in some of the training I run, when we look at "Voluntary Participation".
I think it also links into this post below on expectations, and the danger warned of by Jason Clark of "Over promising".
Disciple making is a long term process. Big meetings and events can be part of that - I can see that in my own journey, but we need to be sure we're not setting people up for a fall.
