As a young Christian leader I've felt that I've been around many of my beloved peers who have an unbelievable amount of angst towards the Church. I have to admit there are many reasons why one would find themselves a little frustrated about certain realities of the condition of the Church. But what has become increasingly worrisome for myself is that those who live with such angst usually resort to one of two options to resolve it: leave the church (the institution) or go plant a church. It's almost like when you went to a friend's house and you brought the cool toy and whenever you weren't able to play with it as much as you wanted--you'd rip the toy out of your friend's hands and you'd take your toy and go home. It's almost as if the angst has taken many of my dear friends to a place of "I'm taking my toy and going home" and I may never come back. Or they resort to planting a church. Out of the many conversations I've had with friends who want to plant a church--there is only one individual who actually desired to plant a church due to the leading of God to do so. All of the others flowed out of their frustration with their local church and their great desire to find a good reason to leave. Scary you ask--very much so. So what's up with the angst? When is it healthy? When is it lethal? Where is the line when it gets very close to resulting in bitterness? Let's talk about the evolution of angst amonst young leaders.Jeff
