The revisitation of Revisiting Relational Youth Ministry

The Black Panthers

Season 3, Episode 9

Continuing the discussion of engaging youth culture in the church, Stu, Tim and Joel sit down to review Andrew Root's seminal book Revisiting Relational Youth Ministry and it's implications within the Incarnational model of ministry and beyond.

Hear about how Stu's studies of Italian Communist Gramsci, the Black Panthers, the Chicago Seven and a segment on Triple J lead to the clarification that trying to be cool wasn't an ideal ministry approach because it was buying into the hegemony. Instead, being overtly Christian, clothed in Christ and seeking to institutionalise relationships centred on Christ was the way forward.
