A Circle of Support: What Does a Mentor Do for Your Child?
Connected Families Podcast - A podcast by Connected Families - Mondays
Categories:
Here at Connected Families, we often talk about how you can pass your faith on to your kids. Have you thought about how you can help sustain your child’s faith into their adult years? Research reveals that 60 percent of teens who have faith in high school will leave their faith by the time they are 30 years old. Thankfully, this does not have to be the case if you take proactive steps as your children grow. In today’s podcast, Ben Bevis (Executive Director of Encircled) joins Stacy Bellward (podcast host) to share what a mentor can do for a child. Ben introduces resources for parents, youth workers, and even grandparents to support a young person’s faith, purpose, and calling from early childhood through their young adult years. You’ll be encouraged and inspired to support sustaining faith in your family today. In this podcast you’ll discover: * what mentorship can look like at different ages * how to build a circle of support around your child * the impact that 5 intentional adults can have in the life of a young adult * things you can do at any age to notice and develop your child’s unique giftings * resources to guide you or your community in developing mentor circles Thanks for listening to today’s podcast.
