Help Talking About That Thing You Don't Want to Talk About...

The Providence Road Church of Christ in Charlotte, NC is hosting an "Ultimate Escape" Seminar on Sunday, May 3rd. There will be separate presentations for teens and parents. Unfortunately, the teen portion of the afternoon is too late in the day for it to really be a possibility for us to go as a group. But... it may be a great opportunity for you parents. The parents' session is from 2-3:30.

Steve Holladay is the Director of Ministry for Ultimate Escape, which is an organization that helps teens and young adults develop healthy vision of sexuality and overcome addictive sexual behaviors. Later in the evening there will be a dinner provided at 6, and Steve will speak to the teens from 7-8. Many of the youth ministries that participitate in Workcamp and other events with will be attending. If your teens have been to those events, this would be a chance for them not only to hear an invaluable, relevent presentation on a difficult subject, but also an opportunity to see some of their friends.

If at all possible, I would recommend taking advantage of this opportunity for you and your family. Steve will address many of the topics that your kids are curious about or are currently receiving very bad information about from the culture. He also will give you, as parents, tools to help your children develop a healthy and Godly viewpoint on sexuality.

I highly recommend the book and study book, Every Young Woman's Battle. I about had a heart attack when I sat down to 'review' it before giving it to her. They just jump right in.

But we came to the conclusion that we would rather have her learn from a Biblical perspective in a study like that than to learn the world's way with its eternal consequences.

Thanks for letting us know about opportunities like this one. Any help parenting with a Godly worldview in this culture is a blessing.
