New Focus

One of the big things that God has shown me in my time in youth ministry is that it should really be thought of as family ministry. God has just really convicted me that there needs to be more focus on parents and specifically encouraging, challenging and assisting them in their call to disciple their children. One of the ways that I want to try and do this is through this blog. I want to try and incorporate more time "blogging" for you parents. Not everything they I put on here will be for you but much of it will. On Thursday or Friday of each week I will try to give a little synopsis of what we studied at BNX on Wednesday night. This has two purposes. The obvious first purpose is just to "keep you in the loop". But a second more important purpose is that hopefully this will give you guys some platforms from which to start some discussions with your kids. I think we have a tendency to sometimes make the process of discipling our kids more difficult and daunting than it should be. We don't have to be Biible scholars and theologians to disciple them. We really just need to love them and have a willingness to talk to them about our lives and theirs. We need to talk to them about how God is working in our own life and how that effects our thinking and our daily decision making processes. Hopefully this will help you with that sometimes.
