Student Ministry For Parents
We are advocates of the Gospel in the lives of teens and we know that the life of a teen begins with their parents. This podcast helps parents reap the benefits of student ministry in their own homes.
Episodes
On this episode we discuss David Yeager's book, "10 to 25: The Science of Motivating Young People. How are we helping our teenagers gain status and respect?
Jonathan Haidt's, "Anxious Generation" is a great synopsis of years of work on the developing child, technology, and the growth of emotional unhealth. How does this influence how we do ministry and how we parent?
Music: Austin Haga - "Waterfalls" and "Mind (Interlude)"
We take a look at Andy Crouch's book, "The Life We're Looking For" He takes a hard stance on making sure that our life investments are not in technology and instead on relationships. How are we pursuing each other in the way God intended? How do tend to relate to one another? How can we recapture the fullness of relationship?
Interlude music by Austin Haga
The Age of Opportunity is what Paul David Tripp calls the teenage years. We talk about why that is, what we can do to get the most out of this time, and practical tips during tough times with your teen.
On this episode we discuss Jean Twenge's book, "IGen" She talks about everything you need to know about this current generation of adolescents. If you want to know who your teen is or why they are the way that they are, we recommend this book. We discuss the importance of preparing the way for the next generation and how to help this generation grasp the Gospel in their own unique way.
Book Recommendation: "IGen" - Jean Twenge
