i have a deep appreciation for youth specialities’ decades-long desire to equip and empower youth leaders.
as a 20-something female, though, i don’t know how to respond to the ad that arrived in my mailbox today. i’m not quite sure how to move past the implicit communication that “middle age white men make the decisions for the leadership of american youth ministry.”
i know i belong at the grown-up table at thanksgiving, but am i really invited to what is advertised as the boys table of youth ministry?
