Youth Congress Preview: General Session Speaker Brent Coltharp August 3, 2009 Interviewed
by ninetyandnine.com This week Brent
Coltharp and his wife Rachel will be speaking in the General Session
of the UPCI's North
American Youth Congress. We wanted
to ask him a few questions about his Youth Congress experiences,
as well as challenges facing young Christians today. 90&9: What's the first NAYC you attended and what do you remember from it? BC:
Rev. Terry Black preaching from the Song of Solomon. Rev.
Jerry Jones preaching about Heaven being a city that had both gates
and walls. A young person almost taking off Rev. Ron Tiller's
head with a worldly CD that he was hurling toward the altar. 90&9: What do you see as the biggest challenge for Apostolic youth today? BC:
Authentic relationships (i.e. God, Church, family, friends, etc.)
in a virtual world. 90&9: Please share the impact, if any, that social networking and Web 2.0 has made on your ministry or you personally. BC:
I have been resistant to get involved in social networking due to
my fear of being unable to properly manage my time. However, I weekly
visit blogs, have podcasts downloaded to my iphone in order to continually
be stretched, do most of my business online (i.e. shopping, banking,
etc.), track down information through a variety of searches, etc. 90&9: Please name a person who has mentored you and describe how and why they've impacted your life. BC:
Without a doubt, my parents, Bill Coltharp Sr. and Sharlene Coltharp.
They have demonstrated character and integrity throughout
my entire life. Whether in the pulpit or on vacation, their
actions and words have remained in alignment. They have supported
me through academic pursuits, continually checking in on me, stretching
me, maintaining accountability and encouraging me to continue to
grow. They created a growth climate. My wife, Rachel,
she has helped me to grow from being a caveman to becoming somewhat
civilized. She still has a lot of work left. 90&9: (Excluding God, the Bible and family), I can't live without… BC:
17" Macbook Pro. - isn't this the same answer for everyone? 90&9: The last item I downloaded was… BC:
The message that I am preaching at NAYC. Actually it was a
boring bank statement. © 2009, ninetyandnine --------------- |
