eutychian middle school ministry.

is a great example of bad middle school ministry: (ht marko)

  1. paul is focused on his lesson plan above all else
  2. paul likes the sound of his own voice too much
  3. paul buys into the banking model of spiritual formation
  4. eutychus is so relationally disconnected that on one notices his risk taking bahvior

and the second half of the story is an example of great middle school ministry:

  • the community SEES eutychus
  • paul gets awkward in order to connect
  • they shared life, not just teaching
  • they had an all-nighter! (’nuff said)
