Developing Your Spiritual Relationship with Your Teen.
Over the next four weeks I will be posting a series of videos that will provide some insight into building your spiritual relationship with your teen. There a lots of facets to the parents/teen relationship, we are authority, disciplinarian, homework monitor, transportation service etc… but I find, even as a minister, having meaningful spiritual conversations is tough. Way more work than I thought it would be. Think these series of videos might be encouraging and helpful.

On Track Monthly Devotionals :: September/Matthew
As a new emphasis this year we are using On Track Devotionals to encourage our students to develop the habit of reading and studying the Word of God daily. Ken Ullrich is heading up text/email encouragements and challenges to students who decide to use On Track Devotions and we will celebrate with students each month as they complete a book of devotions. If you would like to check out On Track Devotions drop by the cafe and grab one off the new student ministry resource table. You are more than welcome to use OTD along with your students to engage them in conversation and deeper discipleship.
