What Teens Are Watching
Ok you've got one minute to help parents and teenagers have a positive impact on their life..
Dave Wilson: Okay, you've got one minute to help parents of teenagers know how to have a positive impact on their kids. What would you say?
Guest (Male): Live it.
Guest (Male): This is Real FamilyLife with Dave and Ann Wilson.
Ann Wilson: Live it. It's the hardest thing.
Dave Wilson: Live what out?
Ann Wilson: Your faith. They are watching you like a hawk, and we need to live out what it looks like walking with Jesus.
Dave Wilson: So you're saying it's more important than going to church?
Ann Wilson: Yes.
Dave Wilson: Getting in the youth group?
Ann Wilson: It’s good to do all those things.
Guest (Male): But living it in front of your kids is the greatest testimonial ever had.
Dave Wilson: Yeah, I would agree. They are not going where you point; they are walking where you walk. And that puts a lot of pressure on us. We’ve got to live it out because they're going to do what we do, not what we say.
Guest (Male): But it's the beauty of the Gospel because we're going to fail. But we can tell them, "I'm sorry, I messed up. Isn't it great that the Gospel is real and Jesus forgives us?"
