While we trust the truths of Scripture that nothing on Earth has really changed in the history of mankind (Ecc. 1:9) and there are no new temptations facing today’s generations (1 Cor. 10:13), we acknowledge that parenting in the 21st century comes with unique challenges. Even as these biblical truths remain, there is certainly a difference in the dynamics, pervasiveness, and ramifications of the issues facing today’s teens (and preteens), especially in the context of a digital culture. We, as your church staff, want to equip families to help them better understand and navigate difficult situations. Please see the list of resources listed by topic below, and of course, don’t hesitate to reach out to our staff as well!
