Parent Conversation Guide (4.27.22)

Passage: 1 Samuel 17

Overview: This is a very familiar story we have all heard from the time we could crawl. David and Goliath is one of the most well known Bible stories in our culture as well. Most of the emphasis we place on this story is the result. The little guy defeated the big guy. Yayyy! However, God is doing so much before David even confronts Goliath. This week in TYC, we're going to see that God's purpose for David prior to his fight with Goliath wasn't meaningless. God was helping David to create small habits over a period of time, that would ultimately lead to a huge result.

What do we want our teens to know?

• God is preparing you.
• God wants to use you. 

What do we want our teens to do?

• Create healthy, and consistent spiritual habits

Ways to follow up with your teen this coming week:

• We talk about habits alot with the teens, but we cannot stress enough how important they are in our walk with God. Emphasize to your teens as you talk with them about their spiritual habits that it's not just about praying and reading the Bible, but rather it's about growing in a relationship with Jesus. 
• Continue to share and model your spiritual habits with your teens.
• Help your teens to create a plan and stick to it.
