Why do we refer to The Way as a “movement” instead of a “group?” Movement begets movement - this is true in the realm of physics, and it is true in the spiritual realm. There is a huge difference between “motion” and “movement.” A wheel [when stuck in the mud] can create a lot of motion but will struggle to generate movement - we call it being stuck! As a youth ministry, we don’t want to create a lot of “motion” [busyness], we want to be faithful and allow the Spirit to cultivate efficient and productive “movement.” In other words, we want to “act with effect.” What effect? Lasting fruit [John 15:16]. We tend to fill our calendars with events, activities, trips, camps, missions, etc., which can create a lot of motion, but if we neglect the very thing Jesus called for most - discipleship - we will simply be “spinning our wheels.” Too many youth groups excel at creating motion, but very few create actual movement. Movement is what [I believe] Jesus mandated for all ministry in His Church.
