Hey Student Families,
Just a couple weeks ago we celebrated Milestone 4: Purity for Life. A strong number of our students have made a decision to live a life of purity. Also, this past week I got the opportunity to teach health class here at Carmel Christian. I was asked to share with about cultural lies about intimacy, modesty, dating, and personal viewing behaviors and actions.
As I have reflected I am reminded that the reality is that all of us are facing difficult times in fighting the enemy in what is placed in front of us every day. So what can you do to fight for purity.
Monitoring apps are great tools and I have a couple links to some tools below. However they are not enough. It is critical to have open and honest conversations as a family. So here are some key tips that I have found successful over the years with families.
-
Talk about purity. Ignoring it will never help!
-
Create high expectations with grace
-
Read together as parents and students
-
Accountability
-

Please know that your student team is here for you. These are just some very basic tools and suggestions to get the conversation going. If you would like to meet with us please let us know. No judgment from us, there is much grace to be had in Jesus. Let's fight the enemy together.
