i’ve probably heard tony speak 100 times. but i’ve never heard him say this exact quote. and he said it with passion — it really caught my attention:
we do not take god into places where he doesn’t exist; we join god where god is already at work.
what a great quote for youth workers to wrap their theology and practice and hope around.
Mark,
Thanks for sharing that quote. enjoyed hanging out with you guys. Looking forward to future conversation.
I’m working with a small group of high school students and this is a great reminder for me that God’s already at work in them; I’m just joining in on whatever he’s already up to for each of them.
It’s funny that I ran across your blog, Mark. I was looking for free devos for my group and somehow got to your blog. See you at school sometime, G.
Thanks Marko!
Saw the quote – added it to my YMX sig. :D
I am working through the youth edition of Experiencing God with my student leaders and while it is a bit too formulaic for me that is the basic premise and I love it!
