X-Games

We have students that are into tons of different things in our ministry, but how do  you meet them at their level.

Today is an exciting day for me in ministry as the X-Games events kick-off tonight.  Understand something.  I will not be sitting around watching the X-Games as they kick-off.

Ministry is an amazing thing because even though I think the X-Games are cool I wouldn’t choose to just sit down and watch, but I have students who would think it is awesome!  I have students that want to talk about it.  I have students that will be blown away when I show an awesome highlight from the X-Games as part of my talk on Sunday.

I watch highlights on YouTube!  Yep, I can get all I need to know about the X-Games from there.  I can see that Gnarly crash, or that amazing trick.  I can find out who won, so I can start conversations about it.  It only takes a few minutes of my time and it has an incredible impact on my ministry.

If you are more focused on how it would apply in your ministry then think of it this way.  People participating in the X-Games are extremely devoted to their sport.  They risk their lives daily, and they are unwilling to give up until they accomplish that new trick.

I think you can probably find some application for your students involved in your ministry.  Check it out and surprise your students with your amazing knowledge.  It may be the thing that gets that one kid to feel comfortable for the first time.
