| Publisher Description: There is a battle raging for the minds and hearts of the next generation. The powers of this world are fighting for them, and so must we. Our passion is to equip youth with the tools they need to defend their faith. That's why we created Battle Tested. Battle Tested is a two-part curriculum designed to be a resource for both youth leaders and parents of teenagers. Our goal with Battle Tested is to provide an easy to use, theologically sound and biblically saturated resource.We believe that it is parents who have the primary responsibility to disciple their children. Deuteronomy 6:4-9 teaches that parents are to make discipleship a part of everyday life: Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.In order to help equip parents with this calling, we have created a family devotional resource. We know that life is busy for most families. We also know that the need to teach our children is imperative. So, we have created these family devotions with busy families in mind. Each devotion is designed to need no prior preparation-parents are able to read this resource with their families and lead in discussion without having to spend time preparing the devotion in advance.A second resource is the Battle Tested Curriculum - A Resource for Youth Leaders (not included with this book but also available).This curriculum is designed by youth pastors, for youth leaders. It is a biblically saturated resource, providing the materials that a youth leader needs to teach theologically solid lessons. These lessons help the youth leader prepare his students to be battle tested and ready to defend their faith. The lesson topics cover a variety of subjects in theology, perspectives on character, social issues and more.These two resources were designed to be either used together or individually. If used together, they are a powerful tool, with in-depth Scripture teaching in the youth ministry and continued teaching, discipleship and application throughout the week at home |
