Mike McGarry on Understanding What Teenagers Believe (and the Gospel’s Response)
June 22, 2018
The gospel is unchanging, but the students to whom we minister are changing all the time. It is vital to have a solid understanding of both the gospel and our audience. In this short session from our 2017 conference in Dallas, Mike McGarry shares some traits of today’s teenagers, followed by key inroads for communicating the gospel.
Sharon Hersh on the Anatomy of Addiction
June 29, 2018
Whether it’s drugs, alcohol, pornography, or just the incessant use of social media and smart phones, addictive behavior is all around us. In fact, recent studies suggest that there is not a family in America that is not affected by addiction. In this workshop from Rooted’s 2017 conference in Dallas, Sharon Hersh examines the physical, emotional, and spiritual anatomy of all addiction and how that can lead us to the possibilities of redemption. Hersh discusses ways to understand and serve teens who demonstrate addictive behavior or who have family members who struggle with addiction. There is not greater context in which to understand freedom than in looking at the lies and truth about addiction.
