Comments on: 5 movies every youth ministry leader should watch http://www.partoftheglue.com/2009/01/03/5-movies-every-youth-ministry-leader-should-watch/ because the ingredients are changing Thu, 18 Aug 2011 18:28:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: radiantfirst http://www.partoftheglue.com/2009/01/03/5-movies-every-youth-ministry-leader-should-watch/#comment-67 radiantfirst Sun, 08 May 2011 04:32:00 +0000 http://www.partoftheglue.com/?p=57#comment-67 Jaco- good question....please note this blog posts is in reference to watching movies with youth leaders in order to understand youth culture.. These films listed are really edgy and might not be the best to watch with teengaers. As far as watching movies with youth to discuss spiritual themes there are a few books I have found helpful in this matter...one of them is by Jeffery Overstreet "Through a screen darkly" You might consider getting a resource like this and then pick a movie like Pirates of the Carribean "Dead man's chest" and have a discussion about the spiritual themes in the movie. Movies like this one students are going to see or have seen already.....so as long as its pg-13 and doesn't contain sexual content you are probably pretty safe in that category. Jaco-

I really love the idea of using films as a resource to reach out to our youth. I have been in full time youth ministry for only a year and a half now so I'm still a baby myself. How do I convince my co workers to allow the group to watch movies that were not made by "Christians" for "Christian" audiences but still contain good lessons? Thanks. Jaco Hi there Brandon.

To that end I would also suggest Raising Victor Vargas. It is also a very real and intimate piece that explores the minds and motives of our youth.
