Theology Gone Mental

It's easy to instruct, rebuke, and live by the mantra of "do as I say, not as I do." But our kids learn more from what we model than from what we say. Here are a few ways to make that reality a little easier to navigate.

Learning about Jesus and the Gospel message is one thing. But understanding the point of salvation is another. Help your kids grab onto the idea that they are not saved to something but for something.

I know it's not a popular thing to say, but what great lengths we go to so we can maintain the lies all in the name of holiday spirit. What would happen if we put that same energy into how we talk about Jesus?

We want our kids to obey; we want their minds renewed and transformed, just like the Bible says. But we hate repeating ourselves. Turns out the whole idea of being renewed is not just spiritual. It's biological. And yes, it requires repeating.

On the one hand, the most frequently asked question from students is, "Why do bad things happen?" But on the other hand, GenZ is more concerned about their safety than every previous generation on record. Is it possible these two are somehow related? Steve explores how another answer to the famous question could be more critical now than ever. 

Keeping your struggles to yourself only risks falling into a cycle of sin and defeat. Steve explores two key ways we all can be more transparent and vulnerable with those whom we trust and who are a part of our community. 

I spent more than ten years studying, writing, and speaking about the reasons and evidence for Jesus when most people just want to know how to find hope. What if mental health conversations paved the way for more people to be open to hearing about the truth of Jesus?
