Description:
In the midst of an ever-changing culture in the world and on the campus, leaders are faced with difficult choices. In this video, two experts on the topic discuss what the posture of the Christian leader should be and the incredible opportunities for ministry that this culture shifts it presents.
Participants:
Steve Lutz (Calvary Church – State College, PA)
Jeff Dodge (Cornerstone – Ames, IA)
Key Points:
- Culture is always changing and the college campus is often on the leading edge of these shifts.
- The emerging generation longs for impact through causes of justice and mercy, and for intimacy through deep community.
- Social networking may have contributed to a greater degree of polarization and narcissism than in previous generations.
- The Christian leader should be aware of the changing culture not to fearfully distance themselves, but to engage with wisdom and sound doctrine adorned with good works.
Questions to consider:
- Can you identify three positive opportunities that are a result of the current culture on your campus?
- Can you identify three opportunities to intersect brokenness in the current culture on your campus?
