Relational youth ministry, also known as incarnational ministry,
can feel like a vicious cycle of guilt: "I should be spending time
with kids, but I just don't want to." The burden becomes heavy to
bear because it is never over; adolescents always seem to need more
relational bonds, and once one group graduates there is a new group
of adolescents who need relational contact. It may be that the
reason these relationships have become burdensome is that they have
become something youth workers do, rather than something that youth
workers enter into. InRevisiting Relational Youth Ministry, Andrew
Root explores the origins of a dominant ministry model for
evangelicals, showing how American culture has influenced our
understanding of the incarnation. Drawing from Dietrich Bonhoeffer,
whose work with German youth in troubled times shaped his own
understanding of how Jesus intersects our relationships, Root
recasts relational ministry as an opportunity not to influence the
influencers but to stand with and for those in need. True
relational youth ministry shaped by the incarnation is a commitment
to enter into the suffering of all, to offer all those in high
school or junior high the solidarity of the church.
