When it comes to grandparenting, our example, our presence, and our consistent love often speak more powerfully than our words. If we long to see our grandchildren follow Christ, then our own lives must continually point them to him.

According to my narrow plans, I expect that my children will be natural learners and natural leaders; I think about the kind of jobs I hope they might do when they grow up; I expect them to like the same things that I like and be good at the same things I’m good at. But what if our children don’t fit this mould? What if they are not good at the things we highly prize?

For years I've had to say, 'There's not really a one-stop book... ' But thanks to Graham Stanton, now there is." 📚

When someone who spends their life investing in youth leaders calls a book "the perfect introductory book for new leaders," it's worth paying attention.

In this review, Tim Blagg (Youth Pastor, Trinity Church Adelaide) shares why Welcome to Youth Ministry has become a resource he'll be recommending to future youth leaders for years to come!

Whether you're exploring youth ministry for the first time, stepping into leadership, or equipping volunteers in your church, Welcome to Youth Ministry offers practical wisdom, biblical foundations, and decades of ministry experience to help you begin well.

📚 Growing Faith: From the Vault

Kitchen Bench Prayers By Ali Maegraith

Parenting brings moments of joy, exhaustion, gratitude and grief. In this honest and encouraging article, Ali Maegraith reflects on how the Psalms give us permission to bring it all before God—especially the hard things.

“I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord the Maker of heaven and earth.” Psalm 121

In the darkest moments of parenthood, we just need to ‘grab the prayer’.

'As I read our son the endless succession of library books about dinosaurs that he brings home, I’ve started to wonder how it all fits with the Bible. Should I be adding some qualifications or alternative viewpoints as we go? Are all these books giving our son a false, inaccurate or, worse still, an unbiblical view of history?'
