What is a baked
potato without a steak? French fries without a juicy hamburger? Salad dressing
without a salad (for those healthy eaters)? It is incomplete and somehow
lacking. The same goes for the spiritual teaching in our teenager’s life if we
as parents don’t become actively involved. The youth ministry was never intended
to be the sole source of spiritual training.
Ask yourself this question. Who do I depend on to teach my teenager the precepts of God? This question is often easy to answer but very hard to admit. You don’t need a degree in theology to have confidence in teaching your teenager about who God is and what you believe. You just need His confidence. It’s called God-confidence.

I encourage you
to watch this month’s video regarding your role vs. the role of your youth
ministry in the spiritual education of your teen. It will give you a good idea
on how to become involved: http://vimeo.com/parentministry/review/62786302/51734c2974
I am excited as
this new school year starts to work with you, resource you, and encourage you
to lead your teens in this faith journey. I am available any time you
might need help, prayer, or a listening ear. This is just the beginning
of good resources we will be sending throughout the year.
