Lately I've been reflecting on the messages our teenagers are receiving from a wide variety of media sources. These messages come at our students from all angles, both obviously and subliminally. I have been planning a new series for the past couple of weeks designed to shed light on these messages that our students receive on a regular basis. I'm calling it "Media Monkeys," and during this series I will be showing clips from popular movies and tv shows, showing clips from magazine covers, playing sections of today's popular music, and discussing some of the downsides of the internet. This series is designed to point out the lies we hear from these media sources as well as discuss how to see God's truth and beauty through these sources as well. I will be updating this blog weekly during those weeks as well as providing other tools and information for you as parents to be informed on these issues. So stay tuned...
And along those lines our senior pastor Jim White put out a blog post today on the topic of "Growing up Younger." This post discusses the movement of our culture that pushes kids to move to adulthood at a much younger age. It's a great read. Check it out by CLICKING HERE.
