It’s true. You’re the kind of person who makes things happen. Someone who cares about helping others. Who wants to change the world in your own special way. A leader. You Love God and You Love Kids.  Ok, maybe you really love God and you LIKE kids.  That’s ok.  We are ok with that.  We need your life to spill into our student’s lives.

Student Body wants to help you be a better leader.

Church Volunteer Central is changing the way churches do ministry. With the right tools and a little thing we like to call “encouragement,” we give you the help you can’t get anywhere else.

Take a deep breath … and jump in. You can be the leader God wants you to be. And we—and our entire community of ministry linchpins—will be behind you the whole way.

Then ask your teenager what they may say.

  • “I went to school trying to be somebody I wasn’t. . . . It’s like. ‘Well, where do I fit in?’ I was so confused. . . . I’ve done that so much that now I don’t know who I am.”

            Would my teenager(s) ever say something like this?

            ___ Probably ___ Maybe ___ Probably not

            If so, what could be done about that?

  • “What I expect out of him [my dad] is to yell at me about something. I guess that’swhy I don’t go to him anymore about my problems.”

            Would my teenager(s) ever say something like this about me?

            ___ Probably ___ Maybe ___ Probably not

            If so, what could be done about that?

  • “My parents always tell me I’m smart enough and I can do better and push myselfmore and more. And they don’t understand when to stop. I can only do so much. . . . While I’m trying to juggle school, I’m also trying to juggle a lot of other things. I don’t think parents realize that. They may have been a kid once but things are different now.”

            Would my teenager(s) ever say something like this about me?

            ___ Probably ___ Maybe ___ Probably not

            If so, what could be done about that?

  • “I think that a lot of the time we are not on the same wavelength, they [my parents]don’t understand what I’m going through or what I’m doing right now.”

            Would my teenager(s) ever say something like this about me?

            ___ Probably ___ Maybe ___ Probably not

            If so, what could be done about that?

  • “I want to sing, I want to travel, I want to hang out with my friends past curfew just once,I want to do the stuff my friends get to do – and just fit in. I don’t wantto grow up and have a job that I don’t like. I just want to be happy.”

            Would my teenager(s) ever say something like this?

            ___ Probably ___ Maybe ___ Probably not

            If so, what could be done about that?

 “Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves . . . Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another.” – Romans 12:9-16

What we are really talking about is IDENTITY.  How do we get to the bottom of helping our students gain better understanding of their identity? 

  1. Genuineness
  2. Personal Warmth
  3. Empathy

 

Genuineness:

“Teenagers have a built in radar detector. They know when you’re being phony and they know when you genuinely care. So you can do all the right things, but it won’t have an impact on them if they don’t sense that genuine desire to know their heart and understand who they are.” – Dr. Leslie Parrott

Personal Warmth:

“They may come home from school and you might be the first place all day they get a clue that ‘I am a valuable person.’” – Dr. Les Parrott

Empathy:

“This quality of being able to put your self in another person’s shoes, to see the world from their perspective, to imagine what life must be like to be lived in their skin.” – Dr. Les Parrott
