Guide For Parents
Media is defined as: the main means of mass communication (esp. television, radio, newspapers, and the Internet) regarded collectively. Depending on who you talk to, people might say media has more of an influence on kids today then parents or friends.
Lets face it today media is all over the place. We can try to keep our kids away from the bad parts of media but it still is very easy to access. More important what happens when they are all grown up? There are also many good parts of media. So there is a balance. But are they ready for the media mania on their own?
This month we will be talking about media:
The good
The bad
Discern
Self-Control
Where is God in all of this?
Use the following information and questions to reinforce the truths of this month of Bible study at home. Use one or two of the discussion starters to begin a conversation. Look for teachable moments—at home, in the car, or at a game. Pray and ask God to provide you opportunities to have spiritual conversations with your teenager(s).
Ephesians 5:6-14
