Disciple Your Children Intentionally, Making a Timeless Investment
You don't need to be a perfect Christian to disciple your teens.
Nobody's perfect, even and especially Christians. And you don't need to be a perfect Christian in discipling your teens and it doesn't require you to be perfect either in helping your teen to become an authentic follower of Jesus Christ.
It can and should be a natural, caring, and even fun experience!
This means that in leading your teens to become mature in their Christian life, it doesn't have to become a form of torture. If in the process it feels like a straitjacket, a knife fight, or a migraine, there is something wrong. Being a spiritual mentor to your teenager can and should be a natural, caring, even fun experience that benefits both you and your child - for eternity.
But you will need to be intentional about it!
Because in this world where we live in, nothing happen by accident or by chance. Even our Great God is an "intentional" God. His intentions and motives are for our own best.
The same is also true in discipling our teens. We need to be intentional, and anything as somber-sounding as "intentional discipling" has to be hard and unpleasant, doesn't it?
