6:00 – 6:15 >Students and parents arrive are greeted and listen to youth
praise band. Students “take over” the front of room. Parents stay to the
back. Promoters may be worried that the parents will “cramp the style of the
youth” by being in the room. Keith’s experience has been that the youth forget
they are back there after a couple minutes.
6:15 – 7:10 > Keith is introduced and performs his wide open show, The
New Sexual Revolution.
7:10 – 7:15 > MC explains “the split”. For example, if thus far, everyone
has been in the sanctuary, the parents will now move to the fellowship hall
while the youth stay in the sanctuary for a concert. Or, the parents
can stay in the sanctuary while the youth move to the fellowship hall far pizza
and games. The combinations and creativity you can apply are endless.
7:15 – 750 > Keith conducts his PowerPoint presentation for the parents while
the youth are engaged in a separate activity. This presentation is important
for many reasons. An unexpected benefit Keith has noticed is an increase in
support for the youth program because parents realize how “toxic” teen culture
is and how desperately healthy alternatives hare needed.
7:50 – 8:00 > Workshop and youth activity concludes and parents and youth
flow back together and exit the building.
This is a sample. Times can be adjusted and there are many variations. The
idea is to use the time that the youth are not listening to Keith for Keith to
address the adults. Keith has used this combination throughout the country to
help stage well attended rallies. More importantly, including the parents has
led to an immediate change in family culture.
