We just had a youth rally...the theme was "Embrace His Scars: life hurts... but our scars match up." The speaker was Chap Clark, a professor at Fuller Theological Seminary. <br /><br />“Teens face two colliding needs: the need to connect with people and the need to protect oneself,”<br />he said. “Those two needs drive everything else.” <br /><br />He also taught a parent/youth leader workshop. Here are part of his comments: "“It’s important to express acceptance and care. Most adults believe kids are the problem. The problem is parents living through their kids. If the kids mess up, it reflects on the parent. In the past, children<br />were accepted into the community. Today, kids are welcomed if and when they perform enough to be<br />accepted.”Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09656329132788257039noreply@blogger.com
