Are our kids too preoccupied today with celebrity culture & the marketing of celebrity?

A recent survey conducted for the Daily Mail newspaper in the UK suggested that pre-teen children are more interested in being pop idols and sports megastars than teachers, doctors or other respected professionals - while their parents, at the same age, were more traditional in their aspirations.

What does this say about the future of today's kids? Mal Fletcher joined the debate in these two segments from the popular BBC Breakfast TV programme recently.

Thanks for producing EDGES, which isn’t like some televangelist shows! See you next time you come to Planetshakers!

Thanks a lot for a great site. As a pastor serving in a postmodern culture I've at last found some tools to use and learn from. I hope this website will serve others as well as it have been serving me.
