Raising Teenagers for Christ with Ruth Sturgill

"Raising teenagers has the protential to be one of the best seasons of our lives... If we go into it with a valiant "we are going to trust God" attitude, it's going to be good. It's not easy but it's good."

Ruth Sturgill, pastor's wife and mother of 2 teenage boys, shares her heart on the teenage years. It is often difficult to see our babies grow up and become less dependent on us, to see them spread their wings and begin to fly. Ruth gives advice on how to navigate these years with grace and how to find true joy in a season that so many dread. 

She addresses:

-Not parenting in fear

-Transitioning your children to adulthood independence 

-Being your child's greatest advocate

-Teaching your children to live in the awareness of the presence of the Lord

-Navigating puberty, hormones, relationship struggles, and more

Scripture Referenced:

Deuteronomy 32:11-13
