Bringing Hope to a Lost Generation: Reconnecting Parents and Teens

Many youth who feel confused, alone, and hopeless don’t know how to make
sense of the crazy mixed-up world they live in. At a deep level, they long for parents to come alongside them but many are living in disconnected
relationships with their parents. Designed for youth leaders, parents, and other caring adults, the goal of this talk is to raise awareness of issues teens face and explore the disconnection between parents and teens and how we can facilitate reconnection in the crucial God ordained relationship between them.

Bringing Hope to a Lost Generation: Reconnecting Parents and Teens

“My parents don’t care about me. I am totally alone. Life is just too hard. I don’t want to live.” This is a message we hear repeatedly from youth who feel confused, alone, and hopeless. They don’t know how to make sense of the crazy mixed-up world they live in. They need parents and other caring adults to come alongside them to help them find their way in a dark and scary world. Designed for parents of teenagers, the goal of this talk is to raise awareness of the issues teens face and raise questions to help parents better equip teens to face very real issues in their every day lives.

Friends Forever: What does it mean to be a friend of God and One another?

Have you felt jealous of someone surrounded with friends or wished that you were part of the ‘popular’ group? Have you ever made a list of your friends and added a few extra to make it longer? When we feel lonely, we long deeply for true friendship. God designed us for relationships and understands our deepest longings. He has a perfect plan for perfect friendship.

Designed for women who long for deeper friendships, and want to heal the friendships they have, this talk explores the foundational truth of what it means to be a Friend of God and Friend to One Another.

“Dear friends, let us be friends to  one another, for friendship  comes from God.”

Bringing Hope to a Lost Generation: Reconnecting Parents and Teens

My parents don’t care about me. I am totally alone. Life is just too hard. I don’t want to live.” This is a message we hear repeatedly from youth in our area. They are confused; they feel alone; they feel hopeless. They need parents and other caring adults to come alongside them to help them find their way in a dark and scary world. Even those teens that have stable home lives, often misunderstand their parents and feel left to handle the issues they face on their own.

Designed for parents of teenagers, the goal of this talk is to raise awareness of the issues teens face and raise questions within ourselves about how we can better equip our own teens to face these issues in their every day lives.

“Our kids need us to be reminded of this truth. We can’t help them until we are willing to look at their situation regardless of our own agenda.”
--Youth Pastor, Michigan

RECONNECTING: GOD’S DESIGN FOR MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS

“Help me. I am desperate. I am losing my daughter to the world and I don’t know what to do.” I hear this cry from mothers who are watching as the world erodes their families and destroys the faith that they have sown in their daughters.

Young girls who are desperate for love are falling prey to the lies of the world and believe in the depth of their hearts that they have no allies. They cry out for someone to protect them and give them a safe path to follow.

Geared for girls ages 9-21 and mothers of any age, this purposeful talk focuses on the roles of mothers in our current society and how we have lost the power, purpose, and privilege to perform the most important job on earth. Girls will learn who their mother is designed to be and who she is not.

"Your talk really gave me a lot to think about. Sometimes I forget how much my kids need me. Thank you for the reminder.”
