There’s no question that there’s a lot of filth on the Internet. And it’s pretty easy to run into it, even accidentally. Internet filters are extremely useful tools for preventing you and your children from encountering content that is harmful and disturbing. Because Internet filters are a good resource, we want to highlight what we think are some of the most helpful solutions currently available. Keep in mind that our list is not exhaustive (if it were, we’d never stop writing!), but will hopefully help point you in the right direction.

Minecraft has been a huge hit with younger kids ever since its release in 2009. The Guide helps you know what’s good about it, what to look out for, how to set healthy limits, and, most importantly, how to have good conversations about the game so that your kids have a healthy perspective before they ever start playing.

Do you ever get into arguments with your child about what to wear? When our kids only hear us telling them what not to do and why their clothes are completely inappropriate, they’re more inclined to rebel or simply wait for the day that they’re out of the home and can finally wear what they want to wear. For our girls especially, they’ve been told that their bodies are temptations, rather than beautifully made by their heavenly Father. In this Parent Guide, we’ll redefine what modesty is and reframe it in a way that’s fair and actually more biblical than most definitions of modesty we see today.

This Parent Guide is an invitation to prayer, confession, and self-evaluation as much as it is an invitation to talk about money and generosity with your teen. We pray that this content increases our capacity and desire to invite God into every aspect of our lives— even our bank accounts.

The Money Conversation Kit dives into the topics of money, wealth, and generosity. We hope it provides a spark to begin conversations on this significant, often uncomfortable topic.

Parents rightfully have concerns about their kids’ time spent in front of screens, and video streaming like Netflix invents a whole new way to binge.…

Do a Google search for “ordinary,” and you’ll find words like “commonplace, usual, normal, standard, typical, common, customary, habitual, everyday, regular, routine, day-to-day…no special or distinctive features.” But contrary to this meaning, Ordinary Time is not just a boring time of the year that we shouldn’t care about; it’s an important season in our liturgical year. Here the other seasons find their culmination. It’s not insignificant time lacking definition, but new, redeemed time defined by all Jesus has done—His birth, childhood, baptism, temptation, ministry, death, resurrection, ascension, and the sending of His Spirit—those events we specifically honor during the more exciting events on the Liturgical Calendar. The seasons are the story of God, and Ordinary Time is the story of the people of God (the Church) lived out in light of the gift of the Spirit we received at Pentecost.

No matter who you are or where you’re from, you need to learn about how to manage your personal finances in order to live. The same is true for our teenagers, yet schools rarely have courses that teach the basic principles. This Guide is a great starting place for understanding these principles and why passing them down to our kids will impact them greatly for the rest of their lives. Learn about investing, loans, and credit cards, as well as how God’s Word talks about money.

In this presentation we take a conversational approach to Prayer. Use this to jumpstart your own discussions.

This guide will help you discuss the following questions:

• What is racism?
• Does racism still exist in America?
• How does the Bible talk about racism?
• Did Jesus say anything about racism?
• Why is racism wrong?
• Does racism matter to teens?
• How should I talk to my teen about racism?
• How can I avoid fighting with my teen about racism?

Whenever “keeping the Sabbath holy” is presented as an arbitrary command, God quickly turns into a dictator whose job is to invent rules to make us miserable. In the New Testament, Jesus often broke the Sabbath to prove to law-keepers that they had missed the whole point: God has a vision for human flourishing. God has a specific shape of life in which we can be blessed—and believe it or not, resting is part of this. In fact, teenagers (whose whole goal in life is to sleep in as late as humanly possible, amiright?) might be better Sabbath-keepers than we parents. Let’s explore the “big picture” of God’s design for human flourishing and, from this, begin to understand why the Sabbath is relevant (and even fun!) for families today.

How many teens are actually sexting? Why are they sexting? What will happen if my teen sexts? Is it illegal? How do I have an open and loving conversation with my teen about sexting and its dangers? All these questions and more are discussed in this guide.

Possibly one of the most debilitating and demotivating feelings we experience, shame is a powerful influence in all of our lives. Yet most of us were never taught how to deal with it well, if at all. This Guide aims to help you break free from your own shame while creating a shame-free atmosphere for your kids.

Teen sleep habits and needs are influenced by much more than wanting to rest. This Parent Guide will help you understand your teen’s sleep needs and give you tools to help your teen create better sleep habits. God designed us with mind, body, and spirit, so it’s important that we see how each of these is inextricably linked to each other and how an imbalance in one tremendously impacts the others.
