Group Description: We want to be a group that not only studies God's Word but applies it to every part of life in this season of parenting teens. Because it’s not just about parenting—it’s about navigating the whole messy, beautiful reality that comes with it. The struggle is real. We face deep hurt, confusion, fear of the unknown, fear of losing control, fear for our kids and their choices. We battle weariness, busyness, and so much more. But this season is also full of opportunity—opportunity to grow, to learn, and to see God’s light shine brightest in the darkness. We need each other. We’re not too busy to gather, encourage one another, and even share some laughs along the way. Let’s huddle up, lean in, and walk this road together.
Group Verse: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts.  Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. --Deuteronomy 6:5-6

In our Bibles, we have four Gospels describing Jesus’s time on earth: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The land of Israel—the place Jesus walked and taught during His earthly ministry—is often referred to as the “fifth Gospel.” Challenge the way you read the accounts of Jesus through videos that take you to locations in Israel like Bethlehem, the Sea of Galilee, Gethsemane, Jerusalem, and the road to Emmaus. Along the way, you'll see how Jesus, the Messiah, brought His kingdom to earth for everybody.

For Christian dads, it’s always been a challenge to know exactly how to teach God’s standards of purity and integrity. But today, the stakes are higher than they’ve ever been.

But what should you say? And how should you say it?
The authors behind the best-selling Every Man series have put together all the resources and guidance you need to experience frank, thorough, and natural conversations with your son. They offer an effective new communication process that ensures a deep, abiding relationship as your son moves into his teen years and beyond.

If you've raised a child, you know that parenting doesn't stop when they turn eighteen. In many ways, your relationship gets even more complicated--your heart and your head are as involved as ever, but you can feel things shifting, whether your child lives under your roof or rarely stays in contact.

Doing Life with Your Adult Children helps you navigate this rich and challenging season of parenting and offers practical answers to the most common questions he's received over the years, including:

• Is it OK to give advice to my grown child?
• What's the difference between enabling and helping?
• What boundaries should I have if my child moves back home?
• What do I do when my child doesn't seem to be maturing into adulthood?
• How do I relate to my grown child's significant other?
• What does it mean to have healthy financial boundaries?
• How can I support my grown children when I don't support their values?
