  • Make Sense of Teen Learning (6-11-2010)

     

    PODCAST SCRIPT:

    When I was a youth pastor, I discovered that teens need to experience a lesson in order to learn it.

    How many times have you warned your teenager not to do something dangerous, but they went ahead and did it anyway? Yes, they learned it was a mistake, but too late. That’s because teenagers learn by experience.

    So, think of that when you’re trying to teach a lesson. Don’t just put it into words. If they’re acting selfish, send them on a mission trip to a poor country. If they’re drinking, have them attend an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. When the end result is experienced, teens will learn the lesson.
