Expert Profile: Carl Fuglein

Expertise:  I can answer questions from teens & young adults concerning their faith walk and on social issues which affect their lives. I can answer questions on sex & homosexuality, and drugs. After 20 years in youth ministry, nothing shocks me, and I promise to give straight answers to any and all questions. I can also answer questions from youth workers on problems they`re having with programming or with their groups.

Experience in the area
I have been involved in youth and young adult ministries as a volunteer for 25 years. I am currently a volunteer youth minister in a small country UM church - our youth group has about 30 members.

Organizations
United Methodist Church, Chrysalis, Walk to Emmaus

Awards and Honors
Certified lay speaker for UM Church

Something controversial or provocative about this subject  The most often asked questions I get.. How far is too far(sexually speaking)?---{keep your clothes on}.... Is oral sex a sin?----{Outside of marriage, yes.}...... Are my non-Christian friends going to hell?---If they've heard of Jesus and rejected him, yes.}.... And the question I get most often on this Board is this: "Is masturbation a sin?" Write me for answers.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  I continually want to learn all I can about today's teen and young adult culture to help me better minister to teens.
What do you like about this subject?  Youth ministry is a passion of mine. I do youth ministry for 2 primary reasons - I didn't have a youth minister like me when I was a teen, and a youth minister played a large part in my daughter's maturity (she's now 36). I want to give something back
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  There are only two rules in youth ministry (IMHO): .....Love God!...... .....Love the kids!....... All else just seems to fall into place when you follow these two rules.

2008-11-29  Was I molested as well? Corrina- I think you may have been molested when you were young. It's unusual for a 6 year old to have sexual thoughts otherwise. I think you need a lot more help than I can give you. I think you...

2008-11-27  Sucking Dicks Kelly- I think you know the answer to the question already, and are merely seeking permission to continue dangerous behavior. Bottom line, oral sex is sex. Oral sex is not mentioned in the Bible,...

2008-11-23  Am I not saved anymore? Corrina- You have not blasphemed - if you truly did denounce God or sell your soul to the devil, you wouldn't be asking all these questions. You're concerned about your salvation, and because you are...
