The Importance of Patience – Podcast 009

As we’re helping the next generation succeed, we need to encourage them and remind ourselves of the importance of patience. As we look at Nehemiah, we see him exercise patience and wait on God to show him what to do.

Too often we feel the need to push young people into things or press them to have it all figured out. The reality is that patience is important both for them and for those who are trying to help them succeed.

The Amazing Teenage Brain

 
In this Episode I sit down with Mark Ostreicher and talk about the teenage brain and how a greater understanding of how our kids are developing in this area can help us as we seek to help them.

Be sure to check out Marko’s books as well as his current ministry The Youth Cartel.

004 – Direct Message with God

Last night in our youth group meeting, we started a series called, “Direct Message.” My friend Daniel shared about how prayer is more than just yelling to God to do what we want Him to do.

Prayer is about connecting with God.

I decided to make this entire talk into a Podcast. Hope you enjoy it.
