Unfortunately, no. But a number of the things we discussed are addressed in the Teen Curriculum!

Thanks, Brad! Are the points covered available in another article on the site? I have read most of what you guys have published, but it sounded like the webcast was billed as including some new insights that hadn’t been previously released.

Russ–SADLY, we lost all the video after the webcast ended! A tragic tech glitch. We were hoping to post it for replay, but will not be able to do so. Sorry!

I missed the webcast – is the video archived somewhere in the FYI website? If not, will it be available in the future?

I don’t have tweet, but here are 2 questions for you:
I asked college and university students in our church what they thought of ‘life after youth group’ and the number one concern was the need for friends who were also serious about following the Christian faith. They said having that support helped them survive any other things they struggled with.
1) What tips can you give seniors to develop that support before they start in the fall and during that first crucial semester?
2) What can churches and youth leaders do to help seniors prepare now and get support in the fall.
Thanks for offering this webcast!

Thanks for posting this FYI. Beautiful stuff from a beautiful people. Palestinians are some of the most misunderstood people by the West and this video shows the heart and resolve that I have grown to love in my time sitting around their tables and sharing in their stories over the years.

What incredible creativity young people have! I admire their ability to find an outlet to express themselves. Having just spent time this past summer visiting a refugee camp in Bethlehem, I know how frustrated these youth are with living under occupation in oppression and having little or no hope for the future.

Comment on I’ll Share Mine if You Share Yours by J3snyder

Teenagers should be taught good security practices their entire lives. Nobody should ever give their passwords out for any reason, especially a show of intimacy. “i love you so much honey, how about the password to your bank accounts?”

I recently had my password sniffed out on public wifi, and had to change all of them, so I may just be paranoid.I protect my passwords like i protect my marriage, behind a lock and key where only two people know how to access them. Also, free plug for the application 1password on both mac and PC, which is a great way to keep secure passwords.

Comment on Apple’s “Genius Bar” – The Church Equivalent? by Eric Venable

Eric Venable — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 21:34:00 +0000

Kara

Interesting that you connected retail to the Church. The guy who is famous for the creation of the Apple Stores is Ron Johnson. He set up and pioneered the stores and also was a big part of Target… if you like them. Currently He has taken over, to many peoples surprise, JC Penney’s. (watch them)

Ron is also a follower of Jesus and has a stellar reputation personally. He might also agree with you…. or “on the other hand” confirm that recreating Christian community in the retail sector has enormous appeal.

I agree Change is the key word. On one hand processing what Kara wrote and on the other hand a personal note reminded me about the fact that one of my children is in 5th grade, embarking upon the world of “young teen”. Change is coming TO ME and I believe it is gonna happen on the inside. Kara say’s “Change involves loss” it’s true 12-14 year olds are losing aspects of their early childhood, I just had to think what parents might be losing and gaining during this time period also? I am looking forward to reading “Young teen” for a better understanding of my child and a new perspective of myself as a parent of a “young teen” to be. Mike Liebler
