When Your Teenager Moves From Middle School to High School
The Gospel teaches parents that we are to encourage certain childlike qualities in our teenagers even as we lead them into spiritual maturity.

We build up teenagers only when the God of the Bible, not the student, is at the center of our ministries.
Teens push us to the limits, and when we see our limits, we see Jesus as He is: our Savior. Rely on Him.
If we want the teenagers we serve to apply the beauty of the gospel to their lives and to the questions of their day, we must also present a winsome alternative to the dominant worldview.
Those of us in Christ know that there is forgiveness and redemption available to all who call on him, but the consequences of the sin remain.
We parents must prepare ourselves to let go, to allow our kids to “fly” into the scary uncertainty of letting them make their own (age appropriate) decisions.
One of the treasures available on our Rooted YouTube Channel is a series of videos from Cameron Cole based on his book, Therefore I Have Hope.
Each month we compile a Top Ten list for youth workers. This list represents ten articles from various sources that we believe will encourage you in your ministry to students and their families.
May we as parents be strengthened by that word of confidence; may we be all the more eager to communicate that confidence to our kids daily.
