Just a few days ago I posted a tweet that got a bunch of online traction. Here s the tweet.
If your believing teens graduate from high school not having Gospel URGENCY (motivation to evangelize), Gospel FLUENCY (the ability to articulate the Gospel clearly) and a Gospel STRATEGY (a plan to reach others) then you’ve not fully done your job as a parent or youth pastor.

I was surprised at the number of comments, retweets and likes it got. To me, the tweet didn t seem that profound. But, as I think about why it may have struck such a nerve, I m convinced it s because failing to motivate and equip our teens in evangelism is a HUGE MISS in the typical discipleship strategy.
