Pray: Justin Bieber and Youth Ministry

I'm unapologetic about being a Justin Bieber fan. Let's face it, the kid rocks.

This music video is one more reason to continue my fan club membership.



I don't know if Justin is a Christian, but what I do know is that this message is absolutely at the heart of being a kingdom person. What if each of us, who knows Christ would pray this prayer: "how can I make a change".

My hero in the faith, the late Martin Luther King Jr. closed his eyes once too and he saw something different--and he prayed, not only with his words but with his life. Let's teach our teenagers to pray and to see a future where they make a difference for Christ in the tears and brokenness they find around them.

*Shout out to middle schooler Nicholas Ulloa who scouted this video for me. We'll show this during our polk project offering for homeless kids in our community. Thanks to you.
