“It’s never been more hostile, but it’s never been more open” - David Robertson

My conversation with Stephen McAlpine and David Robertson was enlightening. They argued that the experience of being Christian today is the experience of Daniel, living in Babylon. 

Rather than despair, Steve and David say there is lots which Christian leaders can do to equip teens, uni students and young workers to “stand up in the gale” or “ride the wave”. 

They challenge Christian leaders to stop focusing on creating Churches which shelter young Christians, and instead to work at emboldening our congregations to share the confronting truth of Jesus. 

They also gave some great strategies for how to do that. Some of their strategies were surprising - like relying on a liturgical framework, or showing the history of the Church - and some were all about building community.
