The Couch Time PodcastLife After High School with Special Guest: Dr Chad Everhart03.08.21- Between the years of 18 & 25, young men and women need MORE discipleship, not less.- This is an age range where they are really trying to figure out what they believe and are wrestling with all the different questions that are coming at them.- The worldview that they develop in these years will be primarily what they will believe for the rest of their lives.- This age range is almost like starting the pre-school years over again.- Parents can often drop off their kids and think that just because they were raised in a Christian environment that everything will just be fine.- Your kids at this age, by and large, love and value you more than you might realize. They care about your opinion.- The kids that have parents daily involved spiritually in their life. It's what their parents are investing in them, not just a "Sunday" thing.- Their faith has been tested before. They've wrestled with hard questions and know what they believe and how it applies to their life.- They are prepared and resolute. They know and are practicing spiritual disciplines. They know what church they will be a part of. They've been connected to the campus ministry. And they are committed to doing/being a part of all these things.- Most parents do not think about or ask about where their student should go to church.- When you do not communicate or asking about a church, then it is impressed on them that church is an optional thing.- With COVID, it's actually really easy to check out churches and their services online, so take advantage of that!- A big issue can be is that parents actually put pressure for their student to come home every weekend and not really be able to plug into the community that they are in.- It's important for them to be a part of a church that can minister well to their age group.- The 18-25 age demographic is the black hole of just about every church in America.- Look for a church that has 1) good theology, 2) meaningful worship, 3) good community.- You really need to figure out if they are REALLY Christians and not just a "church kid". That is going to play a lot into expectations and how you approach this whole thing.Register for camp today!graceky.org/summercampPLEASE email us at [email protected] with ideas or suggestions of what would be helpful to you on the podcast.🎧 The Couch Time Podcast📱 graceky.org/students📍 Florence | Fort Thomas | Independence💡 Send feedback to [email protected]
