Christmas Lists and Spiritual Emptiness

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2022/10/14

With Christmas just a few months away, those of us who have kids and grandkids will start receiving lists of what those kids and grandkids say they want to find under the tree. The pervasive and convincing presence of marketing lures us all, young and old alike, into thinking that if I would just have this or just have that, the vacuum cleaner of desire that lives in me will shut down and I will somehow have been made complete. Of course, most of us who are older realize the exact opposite: that the

Kids, Sleep, and Brain Development

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2022/10/13

Once again, it’s time for me to remind you of the importance of sleep for your kids if you desire their healthy development. A new study published in the Lancet Child and Adolescent Health journal found that for our elementary-school aged children, routinely sleeping less than nine hours a night may have a lasting negative impact on their neurocognitive development. The study tracked the sleep habits of over eight thousand nine and ten year olds. Those who regularly slept less than nine hours a

Biblical Sexuality in a Hyper Sexualized World

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2022/10/12

One of the beautiful realities of reading God’s Word, the Bible, is to see how the Bible speaks to all of life in today’s world. Think for a minute about how our world is saturated with hyper-sexuality and all kinds of sexual temptation. There is so much of this, in fact, that our culture no longer believes in what the Bible calls sexual immorality. This makes it especially difficult for our kids to navigate the God-given gift of their sexuality to God’s glory. One passage that’s especially helpful

Texting vs Talking to Our Kids

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2022/10/11

When you were a kid, how did you know it was time to come to dinner? In my family, it depended on whether we were inside or outside when the dinner hour arrived. If we were outside somewhere in the yard or neighborhood, our parents would ring a bell. Most families in our neighborhood had a bell, each one with a distinctive sound. As soon we heard ours, we would hoof it home. If we were in the house, it was my dad who usually bellowed the command to come to dinner loud enough to penetrate a closed

What is Sex-Positive?

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2022/10/10

Parents, there is a movement sweeping through today’s youth culture that’s promoting anything and everything opposed to God’s good order and design for sexuality and gender. It’s known as the sex-positive movement, and it endeavors to change cultural attitudes and norms about sexuality. As it promotes countless forms of sexual expression as natural and healthy to life as a human being, it is serving to convince kids that biblical sexuality is actually sex-negative. God’s design, it is believed,

Love Your Neighbor

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2022/10/07

One of the accusations oftentimes made against Christians is that we are legalistic, judgmental, intolerant, and hateful. Truth be told, there are many times when we fail to be Christlike in our interactions with non-believers, and these criticisms are justified. As we raise our children to become faithful followers of Jesus Christ, we need to consciously steer them into discerning right from wrong in light of God’s Word, while also teaching them to love and care for people. We must teach them to

The Dangers of Too Much Screen Time

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2022/10/06

Over the years, you’ve heard me offer up warnings and guidelines regarding kids and screen time. A new study published in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry has found that children ages nine to eleven who spend a lot of time in front of a screen are at greater risk of developing a variety of behavior disorders. For example, researchers found a link between watching television and videos, playing games, and texting with what is called oppositional defiant disorder. My dad used to call

Answering the Obesity Epidemic

2022/10/05

As parents, we are given the responsibility by God to steward our children’s spiritual, emotional, and physical health. Tending to their physical health in today’s cultural setting can lead us to walking a dangerous tight-rope when it comes to monitoring and talking about their weight. On the one hand, body image pressures are huge in today’s image-conscious world. What we don’t want to do is fuel any kind of inappropriate concern about weight that is purely based on how one looks and measures up to

Preventing Spiritual Poison

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2022/10/04

If you’ve got kids in the house, you know that there are certain things that you put behind a closed door and out of reach. We take precautions by putting cleaners, solvents, and other poisonous chemicals in places where our curious young children can’t get to them. We put child-proof locks on cabinets so that our kids can’t get to things that will do them physical harm. We all know that bodily poison typically enters through the mouth. As Christian parents, we must also be aware that spiritual

Phoneliness

One of the marks of the young generation known as Generation Z is loneliness. These are the kids born between 1997 and 2012. You would think that since they are immersed in a smartphone world where twenty-four seven connections with others are possible, they wouldn’t struggle with feeling lonely. Yet, fifty-six percent of these kids report feeling lonely once or twice a month, compared to only twenty-four percent of Baby boomers who say that they felt lonely this often during their childhood years

Family Prank Videos and Marketing

Some of the most popular YouTube and TikTok videos these days feature families that pull pranks on each other. Parents will prank their kids. Kids will prank their parents. These videos are especially popular among our younger kids, who will sit and watch these videos continually. If you’re an adult who views these videos with your children, you will quickly notice that everything is staged, sometimes in ways that lead you to feel embarrassed for their creators. But the fact that millions subscribe

Idol Distractions

2022/09/29

There have always been distractions in the world that grab our attention, taking it away from keeping our eyes on the author and perfector of our faith, Jesus Christ. We need to not only be aware that these distractions exist, but we need to realize that the sinful bent of our own hearts is always working to move our worshipful gaze away from the one true God, so that our eyes, minds, and hearts might settle on worshipping created things. For our kids growing up in today’s world, the twenty-four

Are Your Kids Ready for Persecution

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2022/09/28

One of the great oversights that exists in the North American Church is regular teaching on the presence and inevitability of persecution against those who are followers of Jesus. Persecution is a reality for the majority of Christians worldwide, but because of our relative peace and well-being here we’ve come to expect that persecution won’t be something we ever face. Paul Estabrooks, who works with the persecuted church around the world, writes this: “With our hunger and thirst for righteousness

Kids and New Nicotine Products

2022/09/27

Just when we think we are making headway in the battle to keep kids from smoking, vaping, and getting addicted to Nicotine, a bevy of new nicotine products are becoming popular among our kids. A recent survey of three thousand teenagers in southern California has found that more and more teenagers are choosing to use lozenges, chewing gum, and flavored gummies that deliver nicotine to their systems. More than three percent of the students surveyed report that they have tried these oral products, and

Parenting Insights for our Social Media Age

Forbes Magazine recently released a summary of the findings of thirty-two studies that looked at how to parent children and teens in our current social media age. Among the findings was this: that a stricter parenting approach may be a better approach. The data suggests that parents who take more active parenting approaches results in better outcomes for their kids as opposed to those parents who take a more passive hands-off approach. The authors state that “overall, studies find that adolescents

Online Gambling and our Teens

2022/09/23

It was at about this time last year that my football watching experience on television became incredibly annoying, thanks to the presence of an intruder that seemed to pop up on the screen every five or six minutes. I’m talking about all the ads for online sports betting apps. The ads have continued into all other sports, including major league baseball. I recently watched a game where the bottom right hand side of the screen featured stats related to chances that a player would knock in a run, get
