What will it take to change a generation?
Can making one pledge make a difference in the future of our children?
Make “Parent a Verb”!
Though changing our parenting style is hard work, it can be done. We encourage you to begin today by taking the FamilyStrong Parenting Pledge. We believe making this five session investment can change the direction of your family, your children, and our country. These Sunday sessions will be lead by Drew Read of Paul Anderson Ministries:
- January 8 – 10:20 am
- January 8 – 6:00 pm
- January 15 – 6:00 pm
- January 22 – 6:00 pm
- January 29 – 6:00 pm
The five sessions will cover the six topics
listed below:
Dangerous Trend 1: Parents vs. Culture: Will the Real Leader Please Stand Up?
This generation of parents have abdicated their place of authority and leadership, letting media and culture capture our kids’ hearts, mold their minds, and shape their future.
Dangerous Trend 2: Identity Crisis: Moving from “Who Am I” to “Whose Am I?”
Youth (even kids growing up in Christian homes) are growing up with little or no sense of their identity united to Christ. As a result, they are desperately looking for value, worth, acceptance and love in all the wrong places.
Dangerous Trend 3: Technology: Looking For Connection in All the Wrong Places
This generation is spending increasing amounts of time plugged into media (and away from real human contact); many tech trends lead kids into false and dangerous intimacy. Plus: signs that your child is caught in the technology trap.
Dangerous Trend 4: Sex, Drugs, and Porn: Entertaining Ourselves to Death
Empty, bored and looking for value and connection, youth are getting ensnared — earlier and earlier — in the traps of premarital sex, drug abuse, and porn use… with devastating immediate and long-term effects. Plus: signs that your child is involved in destructive activities (sex, drugs, porn).
Dangerous Trend 5: Depression and Suicide: Coming Up Empty vs.
Finding Our True Source
Having trusted sex, drugs, porn, perfect image and achievement, etc. to fulfill them and give them identity and worth, youth are “coming up empty” and seeing no true source for what they’re missing. Hopelessness, self-hatred and self-destruction are the logical response.
Dangerous Trend 6: It’s NOT Too Late: Winning Back the Hearts of Our Children
Most parents are either oblivious to what’s really going on in culture and their kids’ lives OR hiding their heads in the sand. Overwhelmed, they have given up the fight, and given over their kids to the culture (and the enemy).
