The “Who Am I?” Crisis Among Teens Today
This session will explore the souls so often lost in the mix and swallowed up by society. They are outwardly brash, bold, tough, and opinionated, but secretly they are dying on the inside. Teens are living in a critical time of world history, a time that is causing a crisis among their generation–a crisis of emotional, psychological, and spiritual health. In this session we will explore shocking statistics and anecdotal stories that will paint the picture of life for teens today. After analyzing the problem(s), we will move forward with clear strategies and solutions for serving teens today. The information for this session comes from careful research and intimate knowledge of teen life over years of ministry.
