The preacher who sits where young people are until he knows their hearts, their motives and temptations and aspirations, until he is young with them, will be heard by them. The same is true in respect to all persons and classes and groups.
John A. Broadus, On the Preparation and Delivery of Sermons, p. 228

what a simple, yet powerful quote. the same must be true for the youth worker too. thanks for the challenge today.
