In this episode of the Rooted podcast, we discuss the inevitability that student leaders and parents will encounter a kid (or kids) who has experienced a tragedy in his or her family, community, or congregation. Both Cameron Cole and Anna Harris come to this conversation as people grieving – Anna’s husband passed away in 2006, and Cameron’s son passed away in 2012. Liz Edrington is a mental health counselor, who has walked with many students through tragedy. Listen to these three valuable members of the Rooted community talk about how to care for students who are grieving (both immediately after a tragedy, and for the long haul).

We had the awesome privilege of interviewing Jaquelle Crowe at this year’s TGC Conference in Indianapolis. In this quick conversation, interviewers Dave Wright and Liz Edrington ask the young author everything from favorite movies to advice to youth leaders who tend to avoid deeper doctrine and theology in their ministries. Jaquelle recently published her first book, This Changes Everything: How the Gospel Informs the Teen Years (Crossway).

There is a dynamic amongst high school Christians (and in many youth ministries) where what it means to be a Christian is “I don’t drink.” Meanwhile, the kids who do drink often feel ostracized by the church.

In this podcast, Cameron Cole, Anna Harris, Liz Edrington, and Clark Fobes talk about what to do about underage drinking, and ways to minister to kids on both sides of the issue.
