3 Posts to Make You think

I read these three posts last week, and they all challenged my thinking.

Austin Hostetter graduated from NMC last year and is attending Ball State University. Austin was very politically active in his High School years, and would label himself as a political conservative. In this post, he explains why evangelicals his age may be swinging to "the left", why an older generation may be freaking out, and why they may not need to freak out too much. It's a great read. Check out "a demographic change in evangelical voters."

Adam Cramer (2003 NMC grad) is currently in Africa finishing up a term serving with J-Life International. Adam gives a bit of a rant in this post on his holy disdain toward Black Friday. It's a little hard to swallow, but the truth runs thick in "Happy Consumerism Day."

Ryan Yazel (former NMC Intern) is the pastor at Keller Park Church in South Bend. He throws out a huge challenge in this post toward the church on how we respond to the day a person turns 18. Check out "The Worst Days of their Lives."

I like being challenged/inspired when I read blogs. Thanks to these 3 for doing so!
