Analogue Nostalgia is really something youth ministers & leaders should pay attention to. It reveals deep longings within Gen Z that can serve as bridges for meaningful discipleship.

This is always such an encouraging week of rich fellowship & encouragement. I’ve no doubt it’s one of the reasons I’m still going on in ministry after 25 years. I’m grateful to @timbobulous for his entrepreneurial vision to serve kid’s & youth workers all those years ago.

I’ve had the immense pleasure of spending time at Yarnton a couple of times this year, it is a truly beautiful place.
I’ve also had the privilege of hearing Zack preach this year, it was balm to my soul.
The combination of both in the form of a retreat sounds near perfect!

A Thread… + Why do I need a conference-retreat? Many in ministry are too busy. We’re activists. Whether it’s an overly long todo list, the fact that we've phones in our hands meaning every second can be ‘productive’, or whether it’s seeking to justify ourselves through all we do

Appreciate this thread 🧵 on all things Haidt, teenagers and social media. Thanks, Ash.

Just to put a voice in for those who have ‘fallen for’ Jonathan Haidt’s alarmism regarding smartphones (this is how I’ve seen the discourse starting to play out in Christian circles). Firstly, I get it - the book comes out and people like me attempt to ditch the smartphone.

This morning, 8 trucks sent by buyers are picking up all our furniture. Tonight we'll all be sleeping on the cement floor under an old sheet in our empty curtain-less house! This afternoon we say goodbye to Stumpy and our best friends.
Do pray for the kids. Emotions are wild.
