EP 124: Translating Culture

Today on The Couch Time Podcast, Aaron and Josh talk about Chapter 5 of Engaging Your Teen's World and  engaging with your kids in a way that makes sense to them by using things that they know.

SHOW NOTES

- (page 60) Culture Translation: "The ability to understand, participate fluently in, engage, and transform a given culture."

- The process of culture translation involves: 1) Pray, 2) Ask questions, 3) Research, 4) Analyze - What's good? What's wrong,? What's missing? What's confused? What does Scripture say?, 5) Discuss, 6) Pray

- (page 68) "Remember, the goal is to train their consciences, not to be their conscience for them."

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

- How well do you know the Bible/God’s character?

- Are you humbly curious?

- What is keeping you from being a culture translator for your teen?

- Is there one thing you can do this week to take steps toward engaging your teen like this chapter talks about?
