Title: Part 2 of 3 - Discover: Questioning Your Way to Faith
Topic: Book Review
Discussed by Mike McGarry
with Youth Pastor Theologian (www.youthpastortheologian.com)
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Is it sad to see so many of our youth grow up going to Sunday School and church
every Sunday only to walk away from the Church and live a worldly life?
Mike reminds us that we do not give our children a steak when they are babies.
Why? Because they cannot chew or digest it! They need baby food! But as they
grow older, they can explore other foods, like steak. The same analogy can be
given for the spiritual food they need. Children’s church is great when they are
young, but as they grow into teenagers and young adults, our children need more
and more spiritual food.
Why did Gary write the book: “Discover: Questioning Your Way to Faith”?
Does his book answer many questions teens have but often will not verbalize?
Mike urges parents to read the book with their teens.
