I'm not bothered by the fact that Stier was encouraging us all for focus on Christ and him crucified (from 1 Corinthians 1:10-18). We would be lost without Jesus and His crucifixion. What bothered me was that it seemed as though he was encouraging us to focus on Christ and him crucified <em>at the expense</em> of His life and resurrection. I think you and I may actually be on the same page, or at least in the same chapter. Shane: Thanks for the comment.

I'm quite frankly not sure what the big deal is. Stier focuses on the cross and wanted to draw youthworkers to unify around the cross. That doesn't mean we shouldn't be holistic. I think the ministry I'm involved in is a great example of sharing Christ and Him crucified and seeking social justice as well. I obviously wasn’t there, but I’ve read both blog posts today.
