What is your definition of peace? Is it a house with no yelling? Maybe a few quiet moments without the kids making a mess?

Hi, I’m Mark Gregston… with Parenting Today’s Teens.

The world’s definition of peace is the absence of conflict. But God’s definition of peace is hope in the middle of conflict. When you struggle as a family… when there’s tension and disappointment in your relationships… you have the choice to trust God, and to see that the hardship will lead you to a deeper relationship with your teen.

If you sweep struggle and conflict beneath the carpet, you’ll keep your family relationships from growing. In fact… requiring a non- conflict home will only atrophy your family muscles!

Today, view peace from a different perspective. Let God bring peace in the middle of conflict!
