How Can Our Homes Disciple Kids

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2023/12/06

Recently, our friends at Lifeway research offered some very helpful directives for those of us who desire to see our kids grow up to love, follow, and serve Jesus Christ. There are three factors in particular that parents must be aware of that research tells us are present in the homes of those who grow up to embrace a life of Christian discipleship. First, Dads need to be involved in the lives of their kids. Researchers found that the odds of a teen dropping out of church are one-point-two-seven

Teens and Daily Phone Use

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2023/12/05

A couple of months ago I was back in the classroom for a week, teaching a course to college students which had us together for over eight hours a day. Upon returning home, a notification told me that over the course of the prior week, I had used my phone for a significantly less amount of time than usual. Knowing just how tethered I can be to my phone, I counted that notification as a win! All of us risk becoming too dependent on and attached to our phones. Recent research from Common Sense Media

Does God Allow Us to Change Our Sex?

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2023/12/04

Because we are living in a day and age where the transgender ideology is everywhere, we need to go out of our way to teach God’s good creational design and intent for gender. The New Reformation Catechism on Human Sexuality gives us a clear answer to the question, “Does God permit us to change our sex?” The answer reads, “Certainly not. To reverse how God created us as male or female, due to fallen, unchosen thoughts and self-perceptions would be an act of rebellion, and a gross distortion of God’s

Christmas, Toys, and Kidulting

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2023/12/01

Here’s little piece of market research that I find encouraging as we enter into this Christmas season when we exchange gifts in our families. Marketers have coined the term “kidulting” as the name for a growing consumer craze where adults are buying toys not just for their kids, but for themselves. In fact, the research from the toy association shows that this Christmas, eighty-nine percent of adults plan to buy toys for grown-ups on their list. In addition, forty-three percent of adults plan to buy

A Prayer about Our Sexuality

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2023/11/30

There’s a little daily devotional guide that I’ve been using for several years entitled, “Seeking God’s Face: Praying With The Bible Through The Year.” It’s good, and I highly recommend it to you. Each and every year I land on an October entry that takes me into the passage in Second Samuel eleven where we read about King David’s sin with Bathsheba. His lustful look led to him summoning Bathsheba to his bed where he committed the sin of adultery and Bathsheba became pregnant. The story is sobering

The Truth on Identity

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2023/11/28

Today’s culture offers kids many options as they search to find an answer to the question, who am I? In the New Reformation Catechism on Human Sexuality, we find this question and truth filled answer about identity. “Why is it comforting that we have a new identity in Jesus Christ?” The answer? “I am being remade into the image of Christ, to have a true identity, in body and soul, throughout the whole course of my life, to enjoy god and glorify him forever. He redeemed my life with the precious

I Love You Enough to Tell You the Truth

2023/11/27

What are we to do if we have or know children and teens who are choosing to live outside of God’s good design for sex and gender? Sadly, in today’s world, many of us are afraid to love our kids enough to confront behavior that’s undoing them. But “I love you enough to tell you the truth” should be near the top of our list of parenting mantras and commitments. Yes, we have to have to show sensitivity, grace, and deep ongoing kindness to any kid who is grappling with any kind of broken desire or

Teaching Kids to Do Good

All this week we’ve been looking at the Apostle Paul’s New Testament letters and some trustworthy statements that we must know, embrace, and communicate to our kids. These are life-giving truths that must be completely accepted and believed. In Titus three eight, Paul writes, “This is a trustworthy saying, that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good.” Doing good is not only a response to the grace and mercy God has showered on us through the gift of

In Second Timothy two, verses eleven to twelve, Paul writes, “The saying is trustworthy, if we have died with him, we will also live with him; if we endure with him, we will also reign with him, if we deny him, he also will deny us, and if we are faithless, he

In I Timothy 4, verses eight and nine, we read this: “”Godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.

Searching the Bible for Truth

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2023/11/20

Living in a world where information comes at us at breakneck speed makes it almost impossible to know what to believe and what not to believe. This has been pounded home to us over the course of the last several months as we continually hear about fake news. As parents and youth workers, we teach our kids how to discern what is true from what is false. We must also communicate the truths of God’s Word in ways that help them to walk the narrow road that leaves to life, while avoiding the wide road

Some Family Time Ideas

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2023/11/17

One of the best lessons I learned from my parents is that there is more to life than sitting around and doing nothing. My parents were available to us on those quiet evenings when it would have been easy to plop down in front of the tube. But they always had something fun to do. We would play board games or cards, wrestle or box with my dad, build models, work in the basement woodshop, etc. Sure we watched TV, listened to the radio, and played records. But those voices were tempered by the

Sex God's Way

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2023/11/16

In his daily devotional book on wisdom from the book of Proverbs, Tim Keller has several entries helping us understand and apply Proverbs to matters of human sexuality. Keller tells us that in today’s world, we’ve trained ourselves to take physical pleasure without the full personal commitment of marriage, ultimately separating body and soul. Sex becomes a sloppy physical encounter from which we walk away wiping our mouths. So, how should we think, teach, and practice regarding sex? Keller writes:

Parenting Strategies for a Toxic Culture

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2023/11/15

Here at CPYU we are always telling parents that there are three essential elements to a healthy, biblically-based response to an alarming youth culture trend. First, when we realize that something is trending, we are to exercise a prophetic influence by speaking Scripture related to the trend into our teen’s life. Second, we are to exert a preventive influence by establishing borders and boundaries designed to protect our kids from harming themselves while providing for their well-being. And

Suicide, Depression, and the Gospel

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2023/11/14

The latest research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention regarding our kids and suicides are quite alarming. With mental health issues like anxiety and depression on the rise among our kids, it should come as no surprise that more and more kids are opting to choose the darkness of self-inflicted death, over a life which to them seems inescapably darker. Since the start of the covid pandemic in 2020, the suicide rate by firearm among children and teens ages one to eighteen had risen by

Financial Sextortion

Parents, are you familiar with the term financial sextortion? If not, you need to not only become aware, but to warn your teens about the growing number of instances of financial sextortion. Here’s how it works. Your teen is spending time with someone else on a social media platform when that person sends a message asking the teen to snap a picture of himself or herself naked while also showing their face in the picture. All along, the teen has been thinking that they’ve been talking and flirting

Kids and Work that Matters to God

2023/11/10

In today’s world, one of the ways in which we divide people into groups and rate their value is according to their jobs. Parents, we have to teach our kids something different. I love these words of truth from Abraham Kuyper: "Preachers and plumbers aren't any different. What God requires of them each is the same: not a dime's less than everything. Missionaries are no more holy than factory workers or soccer players or the unemployed. Life, lived near unto God, is holy service. . . Whether you do

Parenting and Suffering

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2023/11/09

The Bible speaks from beginning to end about the presence and benefits of suffering. James tells us that we’re to “consider it all joy whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance,” which then leads to maturity. The teenage years bring difficulty for both teenagers and their parents. As a result, we can experience the joy of going deeper with God and depending on him during the challenges of adolescence. We’ve learned that the harder
