What you experience at one location will not be the same as what you experience at the next. All 1250+ locations represent a slightly different aspect of who God is, even though we are all part of the same tribe.

When I was working on my doctorate I was teaching at ________ university. I asked the students to go see in the computer lab how many had a Nike swoosh somewhere on their clothing. It turned out to be 96 students out of a total of 112 computers. Tribal identity and branding is very big in today's culture, whether it be youth, or not. We do have this down in YWAM. However what we don't have down is the ability of the tribal leader to challenge the status quo. We will never get to tomorrow by just staying the same as we are today. Loren and Dar both said we need to encourage critical thinking in our DTS's. In the old days of the Middle East field trips, challenging the leader could lead to non survival for the group. Read Joe Portale's Killer Bees story. The leader had to be decisive and know the desert conditions around him or her for everyone to make it. However in a Unity within Diversity (university) we cannot have group think or we are not a university, just a clone factory. So we must foster critical thinking and an ambience where students are allowed to question and interact with the speakers. How? This is a good question...I treasure any of your insight.

My experience is that YWAM is not missing the Tribal identity nor does it lack the Movement mentality. If anything we have plenty of both. But we do need focus in order to achieve penetration and lasting impact. Ten pounds of marbles being rolled down a bowling alley do not have nearly the same impact on the pins as a ten-pound bowling ball. Enock Great presentation by Godin.

Cool - I've been teaching on tribes a bit this week during the School of Communication Foundations in Burtigny, where the official topic is "Trends in Communications". I was thinking of showing this tomorrow - it's a great clip. Have you read any Marshall McLuhan? Cheers, ~Michael Kelly Burtigny, Switzerland Hi Bill,

I am also always trying to theorize YWAM and the U of N, and am now at the moment working on an article about how we can better utilize the U of N concept... Thanks for posting this.
