Hope on Offense: Mike's secret youth group

Mike describes the subset youth group he started, 'Hope on Offense,' built on three principles: pray like the Holy Spirit is actually active, burn the sins blocking your prayers 'in the streets,' and take someone you would not normally take to coffee — paying with a gift card he hands out (he has had to resupply twice) — and ask if you can pray for them at the end. The thread widens into a critique of program-driven discipleship and wanting God to 'holy spirit people' instantly instead of dragging out years of coffee and Bible studies.
