The Gift of Adult Friends I'm forever grateful to our youth minister, Jeff, who for four years discipled our boys. He studied the Bible with them, prayed with them, shot basketball with them, talked with them about sex, lust, girls, integrity, and other tough topics. And don't feel threatened because your child wants to talk to someone else instead of you. Parents need God's people to fill in the gaps. Our kids know their parents aren't perfect.
Forgiveness is the most important ingredient in the family.
If our children see it practiced in their home, they'll be more likely to practice it with their spouse and children one day. Click here for reprint information on Today's Christian Woman .
