Parent Conversation Guide (3.23.22)

Passage: Philippians 1:12-13

Overview:
We have challenged our tees to think about somone they know who is far from God. We want our teens to pray for them personally, invest in their life wisely, and invite them to an event strategically. This week, we will focus on that last one. Invitations are special and exciting, but we can make them awkward when it comes to church or youth group. However, they don't have to be that way. We're going to challenge our teens from the life of Paul on how to invite people to "come and see" in 3 strategic ways.

What do we want our teens to know?

• The world should see the hope and joy we have because Jesus has transformed our lives and given us this eternal hope!
• The way people view us can be how they view Jesus.

What do we want our teens to do?
--Invest Strategically by...

• Starting with their story
• Realizing God has them where they are on purpose, for a purpose
• Not shying away from the opportunity

Ways to follow up with your teen this coming week:

• Ask your teen who they have been investing in and how it's going?
• Encourage them as Easter is approaching to think about how they might be able to invite a friend to church or another activity. 
• Model it. Make an invitation of your own as an example of faith or do it together as a family for a neighbor or co-worker.
