I think you have developed some great tools for working with not just the youth, but anyone seeking to be more in tune with the gospel message. You have touched an important point here that our youth subconsciously recognize; it is the core truths and principles that they want and need not a super-duper flash and zing mega-multi-media youth program. It is the same for each of us, programs can be like seeing a miracle; it provides temporary conversion. But having the holy ghost testify to us in our hearts about true principles and values brings lasting conversion. Keep sharing gospel truths! Paul, what an interesting position to be in.

I was just talking to our associate pastor about this the other day. Sometimes I just get up out of my office and walk outside and even sometimes lay down in a cool area so i can just let some thoughts come in or maybe even get a little chat in with God...anything to break the grind of sitting behind the desk typing and managing!

I guess my point was that it feels like that the portrayal of men in movies today is excessively dopey. Maybe I need to do a further study of men in both generations. But, the key word I think you used were action movies. Men on a mission. Just as action hero's defined my generation As for the Rock? The Tooth Fairy movie did him no favors :) I'll give you Denzel though in Book of Eli. As far as the music and fashion, I think there is certainly a push at the feminization of men. Tight pants etc. We must always keep in mind that Christ is the archetype of manliness and the second Adam. Being a Christ-like man is based in principle where maybe manliness is defined by culture. If a young man dresses with tight pants and guy liner and acts more like Christ than a guy in cowboy boots and a can of dip then more power to him. Thanks for the insight Jason, sketchy premises can always use better defining. :) Jason, yes, every generation has it’s movies that depict guys who are less than manly.

The modern "man movies" mentioned are all comedies and the older ones are all action flicks. The 80s had plenty of sex-craved drunken deviants (Risky Business, Cheech n Chong, The Whoopee Boys, Fast Times at Ridgemont High). What about the modern movies with The Rock, or Denzel (Book of Eli)? Besides, I don't think Rambo movies made adolescent youth more committed to church. I see where you're going, but I think it's a stretch. And what does a kids taste in music or fashion have to do with his ability to be a man? Now, I'm a cowboy boots n jeans kind of guy (and I even have a beard a la 80s Chuck Norris), but I'd rather my kids show love to others wearing guy liner than be a jerk in a more manly get-up. I like the concept, though. I just think to sway students to dress in a way that WE feel is more manly as part of their faith can create a slippery slope. Good thoughts, though. It got me thinking. I liked the sessions on the March ManNess. While I disagree, some, I like the overall concept. I look forward to future posts.
