EmailI ran across this video on a friend’s Facebook page and it made me think. What will it take to raise a generation of Christians who won’t need the preacher beeper? I’d love to hear your thoughts. Watch the video and leave a comment below.
- What can we do now to make sure kids can live out their faith in God and love for others, instead of acting like the people in this video?
Video is from BluefishTV
This funny video makes a serious point. Mature Christian faith must be able to stand up and make a difference even whent he pastor is not around. For those of us in children’s ministry it’s easy to see the pain this kind of over burdened ministry causes to the preacher’s kids.

Well this showed me people aren’t ready to share what they are being taught about Jesus and His Word. We have to be ready at all times, Prayed Up and ready to share at ALL TIMES !!! AMEN
This is so true! The other evening we were doing outreach from our church in the streets and I was chatting to people about the love of God. They said they would just step into the church for a minute, so I went up to our leader to get him to follow them in and speak to them and then I thought of this video and thought, “Why don’t YOU do it?” So I did! And we chatted for ages and seeds were definitely sown…so THANK YOU for this video! It made ME think! And it changed things. I’m training to be a lay preacher and I’m going to use this in a service!
Many blessings to you!
Great clip with a serious point! If we are Christians, we are commanded by Jesus to meet people where they are and help them. The pastor/minister is just a human being like us..he doesn’t have special “powers” so we should answer people’s questions and see that as a powerful way to bring them to Christ!
Don’t procrastinate! Deal with everything as it occurs..maybe God has sent that person to you?

Loved this!! God is wanting His people to get off their padded pews and start getting His job done!! He is allowing doors of opportunity to be opened for us as Christians (not just the pastors) to go out and feed His sheep.. As adults, we need to set examples for the younger generation. Although I laughed…it is very sad how we as Christians have got so caught up in ourselves we have missed the doors of opportunity. Being Ready in & out of season!!
Love it.
This video is very humerous but I am affraid very true. As the Youth teacher at my church I see this all the time. Children that have grown up on the pews have no idea what they believe or why they believe it. This is scarey. How do we turn this around?
My pastor husband and I laughed hard at this! Very good… and also well done.
