Guest: Cory Butler, Lead Students Minister, Citizens Church

Numbers 1-5 are on last week’s episode with Cory, this week we are looking at numbers 6-10.

6. Long obedience in the same direction

• Long Obedience in the Same Direction: Discipleship in an Instant Society by Eugene Peterson

7. Awareness of how culture disciples (trains/teaches/shapes) us

• Reminder to connect yourself first to Christ, then children to your parents - not their peers - if children are connected primarily to their peers, their growth and development will be limited and lack creativity

8. Feelings are good servants and terrible kings (so many boys don’t know how to feel)

• One of the good things that has been brought forth from the COVID crisis was the increase in people seeking professional licensed counseling - remember that as Christians, we should be seeking BIBLICAL counseling!

9. Hard things aren’t necessarily bad things (some of the best things require the most work)

• Do Hard Things: A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations by Alex and Brett Harris

10. You can be humble and strong (Biblical paradox, concept of “meekness”)

• Humility: The Journey Towards Holiness by Andrew Murray

10(a) - put Biblical definitions on things - don’t look with the world’s eyes, but through the Word of God - this is the development of a “Biblical worldview.”
