YOUR M2P APRIL RESOURCES
Spring is right around the corner for many parts of the world as the dormant parts of nature awaken to an opportunity for new life. Similarly, families emerge from an altered reality, full of masks and quarantines, into a new life affected by a global pandemic. As you serve them through this transition, we ask God to use this time of stirring to bring about good in their lives and to His name.
This month, we continue the theme of helping your parents with spiritual leadership. From 30 Spiritual Prompts to Practical Ways to Help Students Own their Faith, we offer functional and realistic tools for your parents to use. And for you…we get into practical and effective topics on parents and leadership…no easy task.
As always, it’s a privilege to partner with you.
~The M2P Team
TOOLBOX
WHAT IS IT?
30 Prompts to Inspire Spiritual Conversations creates a casual, informal environment for parents to start spiritual conversations. These prompts give them insight into their child or teen’s wonder about life, God, Jesus, and themselves. Some of the prompts have Scriptural references, while others simply reveal their heart and imagination.
HOW DO I USE IT?
- Print and give as a handout.
- Add it to your church website.
- Email directly to parents.

These texts have truly helped me to understand practically what the Book of Proverbs teaches as it applies to our daily lives. Seeing examples of what each proverb means (and doesn’t mean) has encouraged me to take action more quickly and has positively impacted my relationships with God, myself, and others. ~ Michelle, Mom of 3
