You tell me if this section of The Wounded Healer rings true for youth culture today. What do you think about Henri Nouwens insight?

“In this context pastoral conversation is not merely a skillful use of conversational techniques to manipulate people into the kingdom of God, but I deep human encounter in which a man is willing to put his own fears and doubt, his own hope and despair, his own light and darkness at the disposal of others who want to find a way through their confusion and touch the solid core of life.” - H. Nouwen
