Navigating Social Media with Your Kids [feat. Dave Adamson]

Love it or hate it, social media is a part of our culture, churches, and, frankly, our everyday lives. And as parents, social media can be a point of tension with our kids. Should they use it? And if so, when? Is it as dangerous as it’s perceived to be, or could social media be used positively by us and our kids? Today, joining Pastor Joe all the way from Australia is author and Pastor Dave Adamson to talk to us about how to navigate social media with our kids and how it can be used as a tool to help point our kids to Jesus.

How can you believe in something you can’t see? Sometimes, for us as adults, this is hard for us to comprehend—so why do we think it would be any easier for our kids as they get older? When it comes to God and our faith, it can be tough to see an “invisible” God when it feels like we’ve prayed for a sign or message from Him, and all we get is silence. So, how, as parents, can we help our students to see God? 
On this episode, Joe sits down with Shane Sanchez, author of "How to See God: A four-week devotional for students," to answer these questions and more!

God has clearly instructed us in Duet. 6 to share and show His Word and who He is to our children—at any age—in hopes that they would continue to grow as young men and women who love and follow God. On today’s episode, Joe is talking about the spiritual disciplines and practices of baptisms and communion. These are both milestones in the life of a believer. How do we navigate these milestones with our kids? When is the right time for them to get baptized or participate in communion, or what about those conversations where your kids want to get “re-baptized?” We’re diving into all that and more; you won’t want to miss it.

The DSM states that the onset of Body Dysmorphia Disorder starts around ages 12 and 13—middle school. We live in an age where image is everything, and how we think or feel about what our body looks like isn't necessarily reality. So how can we as parents have conversations with our kids about body image?

On this episode of Coming & Going, Joe talks to Leah Ethier, a licensed mental health professional, and Shanna Craig, Troy Student Director, to learn more about body image, body dysmorphia, and eating disorders and how parents can model healthy habits and truths to their kids.
