Matthew 13:3-8, 22

Raising responsible kids who are self-motivated and hard workers can be difficult when all they want to do is sit in front of a TV or play videogames. So how do you raise a teen to be responsible and make good decisions? Rebecca Gregoire Lindenbach, author of the book Why I Didn’t Rebel, interviewed dozens of young people and, together with psychology research, found some common themes among families with kids who didn’t rebel, and families with kids who did. This 3-day action plan will give you the run-down on raising responsible teens. To find out more or purchase the book, visit http://amzn.to/2wipiOj

Full surrender to God means we do not consciously withhold anything from his governance. Our God is mighty enough to manage every aspect of our lives, including the smallest sacrifices, to bless us and others generously. In this devotional, we will explore how every little bit surrendered can be used for an even greater purpose.
