Ways to follow up with your teen this coming week:

• Share your journey of faith with your teens. Maybe they know parts of it or none of it. Be sure to emphasize your struggles along the way and how God did use circumstances to shape you and that he's continuing to do it. 
• Continually communicate to your teen that you are there for them and pray with them each day that God will give them the power to fight off temptation.
