We have been doing a series with our high school students over the last 2 months called “The Road to a Great Love Story”. Our hope is that these couple of weeks would be one piece of a much bigger and more consistent conversation that you are having with your kids about all of these topics. There are so many voices talking to our kids about these things so we want to make sure they are regularly hearing our voice, and more importantly God’s voice, on these things.

Below is a list of resources to help equip you as you navigate these conversations with your kids. There is so much good stuff out there and this is only a small sample. I hope its helpful but I’d also love to hear resources that have been helpful to you.

Also, if you have a specific question that isn’t addressed here, or you’d like more help in a certain area, please don’t hesitate to ask!
