Andy Root - Suddenly it was clear that the implicit, influence-centered relational/ incarnational youth ministry I had learned was more about my agenda for these adolescents than it was truly about them. As my wife had reminded me, true relationships set their own terms for interaction (rather than being defined by one person’s agenda). Root, Andrew (2013-03-05).

Andy Root - Ministry, then, is not about “using” relationships to get individuals to accept a “third thing”, whether that be conservative politics, moral behaviors, or even the gospel message.

It is about shared life, confessing Christ not outside the relationship, but within it. This, I learned, was living the gospel. RRYM p15 http://buff.ly/1e7DCjj
