Our relaying of that is often where the breakdown occurs. I never thought of using the word "loose" to describe it--nice--like it. How to make it "tight, connected, integrated"--our challenge for sure. Now, gotta read that book... I agree–The Message is sticky enough. Our relaying of that is often where the breakdown occurs.

In the book "Made to Stick," authors Chip and Dan Heath identify the elements that go into a stick-y message: Simple, Unexpected, Concrete, Credible, Emotional Story. (Yea, it spells SUCCESS - almost) And the message of Jesus was all that... And, it worked... for Jesus!!!! Often our messages are complicated, the "same old, same old," very loose, not believable, and boring. We've gotta work on that! Thanks for the comment - - - Scott Roy:

I've been fascinated with this topic for a while--the "stickiness" of faith. What makes Christ's message "sticky"? And how do we get it to stick in a Teflon culture? What can we do that anchors the Gospel message deeper into the very personality of a young person? As part of that dialogical-dialectical approach I think reflection and processing are essential to everything we do with young people--from retreats to national conferences. How can we help them redirect their attention inward to have a chance to recognize their "hearts burning within" them? What a great conversation. Thanks for leading our Tribe!
