Ministry to Parents

As the pre-teen and teenage years arrive, our kids may tend to think they know more than they do, and they certainly think they know more than we do. The most difficult and ominous thing to talk to our teens about is the one we can’t get away from. It’s not necessarily “the talk,” but it certainly is that topic.

Being more than ready to guide children as they enter dating relationships when they’re older makes that stage of life a lot easier to navigate.

As a youth leader, you are in a unique position to help the students in your care into a healthy mindset when it comes to their dating life.

At the beginning of a new year, do you make resolutions? If you do, maybe you set goals for yourself or your family. You may tackle them with enthusiasm at first, but as daily life gets in the way, it’s easy to get sidetracked.

There are a lot of people, organizations, and companies vying for your attention. It can be overwhelming at times, and often it seems that the most important voice that we need to listen to gets pushed out – the voice of God.
