Gary explains why this sort of behaviour (setting up a dirt bike ramp in church and having a motorbike jump the minister in the middle of the sermon) is a bad thing. The Awesome Driven Gospel isn’t the Gospel driven Gospel.
But it is, I must admit, slightly awesome. Though the protective barricades with “Thor” written on them surrounded by flames are an interesting touch.

I’ve posted heaps of videos this year – and a lot of them had “Christian” connotations or content. I put “Christian” in inverted comments because at times they were more about cultural Christianity than about Christ.
Here are five that have had some sort of profound impact on my life this year…Mark Driscoll just wants to be a pastor. No. Wait. A preaching pastor. His executive pastor can do the other stuff…
Ministry titles are dumb. The title “pastor” is pretty dumb too. It’s a role not a title. Mikey ranted about this the other day. I agree.
But back to Driscoll – who is sick of people not wanting to be a pastor. So he put together this little tool for selecting a hip and relevant title so that you can “shepherd” your merry band of “Christ followers”…
Let Ignatius ignite you.
His essential ingredients of Youth Ministry:
He’s edgier than Mark Driscoll.
“Ignatius makes Song of Solomon look like Dr Zeuss”
And all about rigourous training and preparation…
“I’m very serious about preparation – I’ll spend two or three hours doing prayer lattes.”
It’s 10 minutes of awesome Youth Ministry instruction…
Relax children, it’s a mockumentary…
