Parenting teenagers in today’s fast-moving culture can feel overwhelming. Social media, school, peers, and countless voices are shaping their hearts and minds in ways we can’t even imagine. The culture moves fast, and it can be hard to keep up with the trends and ideas that win the day. When it comes to helping our teenagers navigate it all in a healthy way, parents have the opportunity not just to know what is happening in the culture, but to build a culture at home that is more powerful than anything our teenagers will encounter in the world. When our teenagers feel safe at home and know that they have parents they can trust, they are more likely to develop the character and foundation they will need as they navigate the chaos of the world.

This month’s Parenting Class offers practical encouragement for parents to create a culture at home that matters more than the world around them. It shows how focusing on building a Christ-centered identity, nurturing strong, trusting relationships, and making faith a natural part of everyday life can shape your teen’s character and faith in lasting ways. Take a few minutes to watch and be reminded that even amidst the noise of the world, your intentional presence and guidance can shape your teen in ways that will last a lifetime.
