these bits have popped up in the last couple weeks [some are older, but I just came across them], and they're great discussion starters for your youth group:
- At the MTV Video Music Awards, Jack Black and Leighton Meester came out to present an award, and Jack Black led everyone in a "metal" prayer to Satan. [the video has comments from the person who posted it all over, but you can get the main idea]. What are your students initial reactions to this incident? Is it something to be concerned about? How can they respond?
- On Gossip Girl's episode "The Freshmen," Blair Waldorf invites a group of Christians to a roof top party to embarrass Georgina. The Christians are wearing matching t-shirts, playing tambourines, and handing out evangelism tracks, and they end up ruining the party. How do your students feel about Christians being portrayed in this light? Is there any validity to this? How does it affect their ministry?
-On How I Met Your Mother, Barney explains to Ted that Jesus invented the "three day rule" [that a guy needs to wait three days before calling a girl]. What do your students think about Barney sharing the resurrection in this manner? What impact does it have, knowing that Barney is a womanizer who brags about sleeping with over 200 women?
