However, if you are at any of the YS conventions I'd be happy to meet with you and any of your team that might be attending with you. If you aren't planning to attend any of the conventions, feel free to contact the folks at YS and they can help you schedule a time with me or with any of the other fine consultants. Here is the contact info: http://ysconsults.com/lets_get_started.php Hi Tom –

Thanks for this post. I noticed that you are involved with the YS consults team. Is there time in your schedule to connect with our youth team and present some scenarios to our team to think through?

Here's a scenario idea for you (not sure if this is the sort of thing you're after or not): If (and I generalize here) a lot of the ways that Gen Ys think and function is born out of a reaction against Gen X thinking, then does it not stand to reason that the Generation coming after them (which have been called iGeneration, Gen Z, ... I'm sure more labels will come!) will react against Gen Y thinking? If so, what does that mean for youth ministries in 5-10 years time, when most Gen Ys have moved into College ministries and beyond? How much of what we're building into our thinking is based on Gen Y and will potentially need to be discarded? Nate Hi bro,

Great idea this – both to motivate us to do some thinking, and also to dream a little about “what if…?”
