The Oppression of Suburban Youth

March 13, 2007

I had the chance recently to contribute an article to Fuller’s Center for Youth and Family Ministry e-journal. The title of it is, The Other Side of “At-Risk”: Freeing Youth from Suburban Oppression. It was really fun to write and helped me make some important connections between the the years I have spent sharing life with teenagers in the context of youth ministry and the education I have been receiving at Fuller the past few years. There’s a lot more to be said on this issue than could be included in this article, but if you read it, I’d love to hear your thoughts and keep the conversation going. Also, I should say that it’s an honor to have an article included alondside people like Chap Clark, Kara Powell, and Brad Griffin whose articles are more than worth your time as well.

You can see all the articles in this month’s e-journal here.
