Orthodoxdj, You're absolutely right. There's a huge spiritual danger here, and I'm increasingly aware of it. If you'd like to discuss it privately, feel free to email me at matthew dot l dot anderson at gmail dot com. Steve, As a young evangelical myself, I understand and share your skepticism. : ) We're way overrated. More Augustine, less me, would do us all a whole lot of good. Best, Matt Thanks, Joe.

Orthodoxdj,

You’re absolutely right. There’s a huge spiritual danger here, and I’m increasingly aware of it. If you’d like to discuss it privately, feel free to email me at matthew dot l dot anderson at gmail dot com.

Steve,

As a young evangelical myself, I understand and share your skepticism. : )

We’re way overrated. More Augustine, less me, would do us all a whole lot of good.

Best,

Matt

Color me skeptical about young evangelicals (I myself am a young evangelical--32 years old), but with all the talk about the Gen-X and Gen-Y influence in evangelicalism, embodied in the rather ridiculous emergent movement (of the Emerging Village strain, and not the broader emerging movement--a little more than semantics, if you're curious), when I hear "young evangelical," my radar goes up. I'm a cynic at heart, I know... But I've been hearing very good things about you, Matthew, and I'm curious to learn more. Best of luck to you, and God bless!

It seems like a spiritual pitfall. Isn’t there a danger in a young person becoming too famous too soon? It seems like a spiritual pitfall.
