We all grow up with a variety of experiences, especially when it comes to the different parenting styles we observe from our own parents and others around us. These different styles shape who we become, and if we’re parents ourselves, they influence how we raise our children. In this month’s M2P Podcast, Sass, Amy, and Chris explore how developing a healthy parenting style can help kids and teens grow into the people God has designed them to be. They also offer valuable insights for ministry leaders on how to support and encourage parents as they guide their children in both life and faith while continuing to grow and learn themselves.

As we march on in an ever-changing world, it’s sometimes hard to understand and lead people (especially kids, teens, and young adults) who are growing up and experiencing life through a very different lens than some of us older folk. Gen Z and Gen Alpha definitely experience the world in ways that are foreign to some of us adults, and we need to understand where they are coming from in order to lead them well. In this month’s M2P Podcast, Sass, Amy, and Chris talk about some of the things we need to know about these generations, and they give some practical ideas for how to lead these kids and teenagers well without having to learn to speak their language. It’s a fun conversation, no cap. (I think we used that right! :)

It’s almost here! It’s that time of year when you need to stock up on sunscreen, check your travel plans one more time, and dive into a different kind of ministry. In this month’s podcast, Sass, Amy, and Chris talk about how we, as ministry leaders (and as parents), can approach summer with intentionality and excitement. The different pace of life and ministry gives us the opportunity to do some things we don’t normally have the time and space to do. We can focus more on the relationships we want to build instead of the programs we have to run. So, sit back, grab a refreshing drink, and listen to how we can all step into summer in a good and healthy way.
