What is Shreddin the Gnar?

"Shreddin the gnar" is a term surfers use to describe just about any situation that is hard core. Attacking the biggest waves with an even bigger attitude. Charging it. No holding back. Going all out!!

During the filming of the spiritual reality series GOSPEL Journey Maui, authors Zane Black (a.k.a. the Surfer) and Greg Stier (a.k.a. the Preacher Man) adapted the surfing term "shreddin the gnar" to describe going big, going all out, and doing whatever it takes to engage others in spiritual dialogue.

Let's review:

For surfers: "to surf the biggest most 'gnarly' waves with reckless abandon."
For youth ministry: "to mobilize teenagers to surf the biggest waves of intentional and 'dangerous' spiritual conversations with their friends."

A key companion book to the GOSPEL Journey Maui reality series, Shreddin the Gnar will motivate and mentor your teens by providing "how to" practical tools and insights, helping them learn how to dive into intentional spiritual conversations with their friends.

To maximize your group's Maui experience, have your students read Shreddin alongside the weekly DVD-based lessons.

Shreddin captures an extensive, candid conversation between cast members Greg Stier and Zane Black as they dive into the specifics of how to share your faith with love and respect.
