All this week we are looking at Paul Tripp’s new book, Reactivity: How The Gospel Transforms our Actions and Reactions, and what it means to respect the dignity of others, as all human beings are divine image bearers, especially as we and our children learn how to best glorify God on social media. Tripp asks, what does it mean to treat people with dignity? He says that we must resolve to treat every person with respect, no matter what. This is a kind of respect that doesn’t have to be earned, but

Honoring Others on Social Media

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2023/07/17

In his wonderful and helpful new book, Reactivity: How the Gospel Transforms our Actions and Reactions, Paul Tripp offers up biblically-centered and faithful guidance on how to best glorify God as we navigate the world of social media. Tripp tells us that as God was creating the first person He uttered seven words that change everything you would otherwise think or know about people: “Let us make man in our image.” God said this so that we would forever acknowledge the distinctiveness and the

Training up Fools for Christ

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2023/07/14

Those of us who embraced the Christian faith during our childhood and teenage years have memories of how hard it was to live faithful lives in a midst of a culture that encouraged us to do otherwise. Much of our difficulty came from the presence of negative peer pressure. This kind of difficulty is present in the lives of our Christian kids today, but is even more pronounced due to the changes taking place in today’s culture. We would do well to share these words from the late justice Antonin

Social Media Warnings

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2023/07/13

Late last month, the U.S. Surgeon General issued an advisory report on Social Media and Youth Mental Health. As expected, the report holds back a bit, being somewhat cautionary regarding making conclusions until more data is received. But the fact that the report even exists should wake us up! Listen to these introductory words from the report: Social media use by youth is nearly universal. Up to 95% of youth ages 13–17 report using a social media platform, with more than a third saying they use

What is a Woman?

2023/07/12

In a recent letter to First Things magazine, Mother of six Gina Loehr offered up these helpful words to share with our kids. “Femininity is not a measure of fashion choices or makeup usage. Drag queens insult me because they reduce femininity to an appearance that can be purchased and painted on. We who believe in biological sex as an essential part of our human and personal dignity ought to be sure we do not fall prey to the same error. My female body has matured through the trials of puberty, the

Sexual Preference Trends and Teens

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2023/07/11

The CDC’s recently released bi-annual Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System data on American teenagers offers a look into what our kids believe and how they are behaving on a variety of matters. Parents and youth workers need to look at the data so that we might know how to best address our kids on matters that Scripture so clearly addresses. For example, this year’s data reveals that the proportion of high school students who identify as heterosexual has declined from eighty-nine percent in 2015,

Kids and Sabbath Rest

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2023/07/10

Recently, I’ve been taking some time to read through, study, and consider the ten commandments. One of the commandments that I believe it is important for us to revisit ourselves and with our families is the fourth commandment: Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, or your male servant, or your female servant, or your

Our Kids' Favorite Social Media Platforms

2023/07/07

In case you’ve been wondering where your kids are spending their time on social media, the latest survey data from Pew Research offers some insights. YouTube is the most popular social media platform, with seventy-seven percent of teenagers saying they use Youtube on a daily basis. Coming in at second is Tiktok, with fifty-eight percent of teens using the video sharing platform every day. Rounding out the top five are snapchat, Instagram, and facebook. Pew also discovered that nineteen percent of

Living Christianly in Today's World

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2023/07/06

What should we be teaching our kids about what it means to live as a Christian in today’s world? Can they just live as they please, following the course of this world while believing if they raised their hand or walked forward during a church service or youth group meeting that they are going to heaven? The reality is that those who are committed to Christ are also committed to following Christ in this world. The Christian faith not only speaks to what happens after death, but it speaks to all of

Our Kids Need Relationships

It was way back in 2011 that MIT Professor Sherry Turkle released her ground-breaking book, Alone Together: Why We Expect More from Technology and Less from Each Other. Turkle was writing about the growing epidemic of loneliness, precipitated in many ways by our increased screen time, which can leave us in physical proximity with others, but emotionally detached. Today’s teenagers, all part of what’s known as Gen Z, are feeling especially lonely. Some reports show that almost three-fourths of Gen

Sexualized Music and Sexting

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2023/07/04

Back when I was a teenager, there was a growing movement in the church to steer kids away from popular music that referenced things like drugs, sex, and violence. Many parents and youth workers were criticized for monitoring what their kids were listening to, as some believed that music lyrics were benign in influence. But research began to show that their concerns were justified, as what we listen to does influence our beliefs and behaviors. A new study measuring the associations between listening

Social Media Safety

The American Psychological Association has released a new set of recommendations regarding teenagers and their use of social media. Likening social media use to getting behind the wheel of a car, APA President Thema Bryant says that “just as we require young people to be trained in order to get a driver’s license, our youth need instruction in the safe and healthy use of social media.” The APA recommends that this training should not be a once and done thing, but rather something that is revisited

Today, I’d like to remind you of the passage in Deuteronomy six that’s known as the Shema. Listen carefully to these inspired words to parents. “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

Media's Powerful Influence

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2023/06/29

I remember being in Sunday School as a child and singing a catchy little song about wisdom, discernment, and influences that has stuck with me until this day. Perhaps you remember the same song, which issued warnings like be careful little eyes what you see, and be careful little ears what you hear. That song oftentimes comes to mind when I think about the influence that mass media and social media has on us and our kids. What we watch and what we listen to communicates beliefs about life that shape

A Mother's Love

Last month, I read an article from our friend Noelle Mering that was titled, “a subversive message for Mother’s Day.” Listen to these words of reminder from Noelle: A face only a mother could love” is a funny old idiom to describe a homely person. On the surface, the saying indicates a mother’s obliviousness to the plain reality that everyone else sees. But it’s not the mother who sees in a limited way, it’s the rest of us who do. Given eyes of love, the mother recognizes the inestimable worth of

The Benefits of Summer Jobs

With summer now upon us, here’s a short update on teenagers and working part-time jobs. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics tells us that teen employment rates have been on the decline now for several years. Back in the year 2000, fifty-two-percent of all teens were working. By 2019, that number had dropped to thirty-four-percent. During 2022, the number decreased even further, with only just under thirty-three percent of teenagers in the part-time work force. Experts tells us that the benefits of

Teaching Humility

When popular theologian, writer, and pastor Tim Keller passed away last month, I was in the midst of reading his daily devotional on Proverbs, God’s Wisdom for Navigating Life, with a group of friends. We were actually in the midst of reading several consecutive entries on how Proverbs addresses the deadly sin of pride. Keller had pointed us to Proverbs twenty-seven two, which reads, “Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger and not your own lips.” Keller writes that Only God’s

Why Kids Need to Play

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2023/06/23

When I was a kid, I couldn’t wait to get home from school, to change from my school clothes into my play clothes, and get outside with my friends to play. In fact, my mom would almost push me out the door since she knew that time spent outside with my friends was important. Don’t come home until dinner time, she would tell me. In our neighborhood, our afternoons, weekends, and summer days were filled with games of pick-up sports, hiking through the woods, riding bikes, or just hanging out at a
