Every morning for a month Matt Kelly and I interrupted breakfast for playtime. With middle school students, we let them throw grapes at us and smash eggs on our head. For the teen moms and their babies, we created musical playtime on stage with the kids.
The humor in Young Life is key because it 1. Breaks down the walls kids put up to the Gospel and 2. supports our catch phrase "its a sin to bore a kid with the Gospel." Why can't we learn to play and have fun in the name of Jesus? I believe God gave us the ability to create many things that help us enjoy relationship with each other and him--let us express those gifts with joyfulness.
