    Parenting inclusive kids in a cancel culture

    February 11, 2022 / 0 Comments

    I distinctly remember a birthday party in elementary school that I didn’t get invited to.  I’m sure there were many I wasn’t invited to, this just happened to be one I knew about.  It was one of the cool ones that involved a limo, in elementary school!  And, we lived in the country.  So, the limo was extra impressive. It was one of those moments in life where the event was special so the guest list was particularly slim.  It was a small school, and I’m pretty sure my personality made me believe I was friends with everyone.  At the time, some of my closest friends got to ride in…

    Kids, Critical Thinking and Christianity

    July 26, 2021 / 0 Comments

    My five-year-old rushed into my room after finishing up a bible study with my husband to proclaim, “Mommy… you are breaking the law of God!” My first inclination was, What in the world is my husband teaching the kids? My second gave away my pride. Who does this kid think he is? It would have been so easy to reprimand my son for calling into question my righteousness before the Lord. I could have sent him away and told him that he cannot disrespect mommy like that. Earlier that morning I disciplined him for making a wrong choice. In doing so, I hurt his feelings. My husband has been going…

    Why Kids Leave the Church After High School

    April 2, 2019 / 6 Comments

    The Youth Transition Network has released the results of research about why 70% of students in high school youth groups have left the church within a year after high school graduation. One big reason is the unrealistic expectations that our young people sense from parents and church authority figures. When asked, “What does it mean to be a good Christian,” students responded with a long list of do’s and don’ts, always and nevers: No sex No secular music No fun No profanity No bad attitudes Be perfect Be a virgin Be wholly devoted to God Be righteous Be a role model Don’t doubt Have all the spiritual answers Always be…

    Teaching Teens about Rape Culture and Modesty

    June 5, 2018 / 0 Comments

       Today I'm happy to feature a guest contributor, Laura Hercher, one of my students, talking about something that has certainly been in the news—rape culture. Her thoughts address the intersection of rape culture and what churches teach teens about modesty and personal responsibility:  As someone in a ministry position and involved in a church, I find there are many ways I can work to combat rape culture. The biggest way is to prevent it from continuing into the next generation by teaching youth how to think about these issues. I think one of the most powerful ways we can do this is by changing the way we teach youth about…
