The latest issue of Immerse Journal, a "journal of faith, life and youth ministry," features an article I wrote titled "Evangelism in the Dark."
It begins with these words:
It wasn’t only that I generally felt like a failure at it, as if I weren’t zealous enough to convert everyone around me or charismatic enough to make the good news seem irresistible; I have been haunted by the suspicion that evangelism itself has largely missed the mark.
In the article, I use the work of theologian (whom none other than Andy Root turned me on to) to make the case for an evangelism that is unafraid of setting up camp in the "dark" of questioning and doubt, and discuss how this kind of evangelism might take form in a youth ministry setting.
A preview of the January/February issue, including the entire first page of my article, until (I assume) March, when the next issue is released. If you want to read the whole thing, you'll have to — which I totally recommend.
Immerse Journal is as well, if you're in to that sort of thing.
