Wow. Kind of humbling, kind of a kick in the pants to finish blogging the rest of the series. Thanks for your gracious and kind words.

I agree--it was a wonderful series, very thought provoking.(And life-change provoking!) It's good to be reminded of it.

I'm happy to see a blog dedicated to Biblical student ministry. So much today is so shallow.

Sean,

I thought about what we talked about on the phone. I had been thinking about the lack of good youth material. I have read bits and pieces around the web, but it was not consolidated anywhere. Figured I would give it a go. What better place to start then "Who is our target audience?” I am sure that I will end up pointing to more of your work in the future. Keep up the good work.
