We're into week three of our All In series. This week: Rim Huggers. It's one thing to have a state of the art fishing boat, with all the bells and whistles, all the creature comforts, all the gadgets, the biggest motor, all the latest and greatest equipment and the best fish finding technology money can buy. It's another thing to actually fish. It's one thing to stand on the edge of the Grand Canyon and marvel at its beauty. It's another thing to hike 12 miles, through a one mile descent into the depths of the Grand Canyon and really experience it. Similarly, there's a world of difference between knowing about God and knowing God.
You don't get to know God by looking at Him from a distance. You have to hike into the depths of His mercy and power and love and grace! All it takes is one daring decision. That's all it ever takes. It's all of you for all of Him. It's time to go all in by going all out.
Parent-Teen ConnectTake turns answering and discussing the following questions with your teens this week. Create meaningful conversation. Adjust questions as needed. Use one or two of these to begin a conversation. Look for teachable moments - at home, in the car, wherever. Pray and ask God to provide you opportunities to have spiritual conversations with your teens.
- Tell about an epic adventure you engaged in and how you experienced what it felt like to "hike the canyon" instead of "hug the rim."
- What does it look like when Christians spend more time talking about faith and less time actually following Jesus?
- Read James 1:22-25 together. What is one biblical truth that you are not obeying? What do you need to do to be a doer of the Word in this specific area and not deceive yourself?
