Liberating Youth from Adolescence

Children & Youth

““In the noisy marketplace of ideas about young people today, Myers’s voice stands out. He reminds us how to come alongside young people 'becoming who they already are'—be that ordinary, heroic, idealist, confused, or all of the above at the same time! Through appreciative critique of the developmental theories that shape ministry with young people, Myers opens a way to go about this work that is joy-filled, relationship-rich, and non-anxious. He does so in full acknowledgment of the disparities facing young people as they navigate the multiple, often death-dealing social locations of contemporary life. The result is a liberating manifesto."”

History & Biography

“A next iteration of church in America is blooming. It is Black and queer, and it shows us all how to love as Jesus loved. The really good news here is that this church knows how to embrace us all, without exception. Lenny Duncan privileges his readers with up-close glimpses of what this radically hospitable community feels like, and how it holds potential to reshape the civic life that continues to be broken by our nation's foundational sin of enslavement. Allow Lenny Duncan to be your gentle guide. He may take you someplace you did not plan to go.”
