My brother, Toby, has started a blog. Over the next coming months he will be joining a group of young guys who are dreaming to creatively transform the City of Sydney with the story of Jesus and will be using his blog to communicate ideas and plans. Please join with me to pray for them… or why not consider joining them.

Why the name middle children of history? Because that is who they are trying to reach.

In the novel, Fight Club, writer Chuck Palahniuk, through the character Tyler Durden, gives voice to a generation without a Metanarrative (an overarching story that rules over all times, cultures, histories, and people):

We are the middle children of history—no purpose or place. We have no great war, no great depression. Our great war is a spiritual war. Our great depression is our lives. We’ve all been raised on television to believe that one day we’d all be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars. But we won’t. We’re slowly learning that fact. And we’re very, very ****** off.

Let’s not leave our generation to the futile story they have found themselves in… lets share the story: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. (1 Cor 15:3-6)
