One of the things our church wants to be all about is setting high expectations for our young people. In keeping with that, listen to John Piper preach a sermon that is a great challenge to young people and their parents. (Click here).
Or, order this book: Do Hard Things: A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations
I haven’t read it yet, but I’m hearing great things about it including an endorsement from Piper. I’m sure there will be one circulated around our house soon.

“. . . Chris Brauns has done a magnificent job in helping us understand the true nature of biblical forgiveness. Every Christian will profit from reading and applying this book.” Jerry Bridges.
“ . . . Unpacking Forgiveness is an engaging, convicting but emphatically encouraging treatment of this hugely important (and sometimes mindbogglingly challenging) part of life. Dr. Brauns writes from the standpoint of a faithful, wise, experienced and caring pastor . . .” Ligon Duncan, First Pres, Jackson, MS

I go with the latter and wish more youth programs did.
