The Role of the Church in Cultivating Adolescent Joy, David White – Video and Discussion Outline
Rev. Dr. David White talks about how the Church can enliven and bring forth the young out of themselves into an experience of joy and how that experience can be a gift to the broader culture.
Questions for Discussion:
What role can the church have in sharing liturgical and spiritual practices to help our youth find, as White says, “the shimmering goodness that lies beneath the ordinary of life?
What is the difference between beauty and prettiness?
What does it mean to model a life that is beautiful? That is joyful? What can that teach our youth about God?
What can we do to help our youth see that God is participating within all things?
What kinds of “deserts” are our youth traveling through? And how can we help them paint their own picture of their story, replete with God in the midst of the journey?
