So here’s the clunker dilemma of my week: When student leaders post foul language or snarky comments on Facebook, how does the responsible pastor, shepherd, or mentor respond? I don’t see it as productive to be a morals cop busting students when they run afoul. But, I don’t think I’m doing students–especially those marked for leadership–any favors by letting run off like they were unnoticed. Any best practices?
Mark 7:15 has been a good re-director in some cases…
Nothing outside a man can make him ‘unclean’ by going into him. Rather, it is what comes out of a man that makes him ‘unclean’.
I just don’t know where and when are the proper places to step in. I don’t want students to be afraid to be my FB friends because I’m constantly commenting on behavior. But I’m being a pretty poor mentor if I don’t address some cases. What have other people found that works best?
