$\"Marko.jpg\"$ <\/span> We need to develop an ongoing conversation about youth ministry. Marko\u2019s book provides for us a virtual history of youth ministry in the last 50+ years and does so clearly and simply. We need this book. (By the way, \u201cMarko\u201d on the cover is a mock cover I found online.)<\/p>\n

As you read this post, think about whether or not you agree with his 3-fold scheme. Maybe you don\u2019t agree with it all, but in general. What do you think of his 3.0 proposals?<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0Here are the characteristics of Youth Ministry 1.0 according to Marko\u2019s new book, Youth Ministry 3.0: A Manifesto of Where We\u2019ve Been, Where We Are & Where We Need to Go<\/a> $\"\"$
\n<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n

The 50s gave rise to a youth culture and this led to ministries like Youth for Christ and Young Life. The major emphases were on two things:<\/p>\n

Evangelism<\/p>\n

Correction<\/p>\n

Youth ministry 1.0 was proclamation-driven.<\/b> It was fixated on identity formation and a theme verse would have been Matthew 7:13-14: \u201cEnter through the narrow gate \u2026\u201d.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nYouth Ministry 2.0 focused on autonomy (youth culture had confidence now) and discipleship programs and creating a positive peer group. 2.0 was not so much proclamation as program-driven<\/b>. A theme verse was Matthew 28:19-20a: make disciples and teach them.<\/p>\n

Youth Ministry 3.0, call it a \u201cthird way,\u201d realizes it cannot meet this generation\u2019s needs with a 2.0 set of assumptions and methods. Youth culture has become the dominant culture in our world. And it is powerfully fragmented. It gives rise to the need for affinity groups<\/b>. He says we need cultural anthropologists with relational passion. The themes are <\/p>\n

Communion<\/p>\n

Mission<\/p>\n

Big idea for Marko: if 1.0 was proclamation-driven and 2.0 was program-driven, 3.0 needs to be not-driven<\/b>.\u00a0 It wants to be Present<\/b>. Marko thinks some prototypical Bible verses will be Acts 2:42-46.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
