Jessica Thompson, a Christian writer and parent of three, gave an excellent talk at this year’s Rooted conference. She offered pivotal insight into the anxious mind of the parent, and the incomparable work of sharing the gospel to teenagers. Jessica is the co-author of several books, including Give Them Grace: Dazzling Your Kids with the Love of Jesus, Exploring Grace Together: 40 Devotionals for the Family and Answering Your Kids’ Toughest Questions: Helping Them Understand Loss, Sin, Tragedies, and Other Hard Topics.

Over the next few weeks, we are thrilled to finally be releasing podcast recordings of the plenary talks from our 2016 conference in San Diego. We begin this week with Michael Horton’s talk from night one, “Receiving a Kingdom” about the reconciling work Christ does in us and, consequently, our ministry.

Big thanks to Truth Matters Productions for the recordings and productions of all of the plenary sessions from Rooted 2016.

“I suspect all of you who are here recognize that you’re struggling Pelagians. This is our default setting. But you know the gospel of grace. You know what has the power constantly to pull you out of that, and look to Christ the author and finisher of your faith. But it’s so easy, when it comes to the message, to say ‘I’m going to be faithful to that message of salvation by grace alone through faith alone,’ and yet take a pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps theological approach to our own ministry.”

“You [youth ministers] are unique warriors, unique soldiers, you’re like special ops who no one really knows about, who never get thanked – really – and yet you’re doing vital work behind the scenes. Youth ministry is so vital; youth ministers are so important.”

Clark Fobes, one of Rooted’s own, sat down this fall with Dr. Julius Kim – Professor of Practical Theology and Dean of Students at Westminster Theological Seminary – to discuss youth ministry, among other things. Don’t forget to check out Dr. Kim’s most recent book (published by Zondervan in 2015), Preaching the Whole Counsel of God: Design and Deliver God-Centered Sermons.

We hope you enjoy this excellent episode of the Rooted Podcast.
