The Irreducible Minimum.

A great book, I recommend by Stuart Hall and Andy Stanley called "The 7 checkpoints" talks about these principles that, if nothing else, your teens need to know to equip them for life after high school. These principles are foundational to developing a healthy Christian walk for any teen, or adult that matter. They are

• Authentic Faith
• Spiritual Disciplines
• Moral Boundaries
• Healthy Friendships
• Wise Choices
• Ultimate Authority
• Others First

     I'll be posting (among the usual games and what-not) 7 posts, highlighting each one of these principles. bottom line- These are hugely important and if you are wondering what to teach your teens for the rest of this year, Then, by all means, teach them what you want but at least make sure they get taught these concepts somewhere along the way. These specific posts are not necessarily about context but content. How these are taught in whatever creative ways you can think of is up to you, but these are about the content of those messages. What eternal truths are being instilled through your teaching? If you are scratching your head about what important truths your teens need, then these are a great launching point! Stay Tuned.
