The funny thing is, if we sit and think about it we have known it for a few years now! I think the majority of the teens-twenties spend their time doing...random things. It is all about what it has been about since Jesus walked the earth..RELATIONSHIPS. Wow, that is some really insightful stuff.

Though I am no longer a bivocational church planter...I still substitute middle and high school once a month to keep my credentials up. The kids Vcast vieos like crazy on their phones...they all the time say they only watch MTV or VH1 when the videos are on. Just my two cents. MTV also got away from what they did best…music videos.

So there is always a lag. Plus, who are we asking? Does MTV have the same impact on Anderson, SC as Raleigh, NC? I don't know. I think the church needs to use everything we can to communicate with people - TXT, Facebook, E-mail, YouTube, Phone Calls, Snail Mail - Everything. T.V. is the only one that shouldn't be use because it is static and not as "reaching out" as the other sources. Heck, I go to the internet to watch shows now. Many of my teens do as well. It is a user-driven culture and T.V. doesn't lend itself to it. It always intrigues me that survey results always come out 3 years following the data collection. So there is always a lag.
