Have you ever had a friend that you knew you could count on? Have you, or do you, have friends who will love you unconditionally, challenge you appropriately, and walk alongside you as you seek to follow and serve Jesus Christ? If you do, then you know just how important friendships are. You are fully aware that the people we choose to surround ourselves with (our friends) wield a powerful influence on the choices we make and, therefore, greatly impact the direction and the quality of our life. Knowing this principle to be both a spiritual and practical truth, we all want the kids in our church to learn how to build the healthy friendships they will need to navigate the pressures of life. In this month’s coaching video, we offer some ideas on how you can elevate the conversation about the importance of building healthy friendships, as well as give you some practical tips on how you can create time and space in your church to allow healthy friendships to develop. We want every kid to understand the importance of healthy friendships and have the tools they need to recognize and develop them. As children’s ministry leaders, we have the opportunity every week to equip them, encourage them, and walk alongside them as they learn to navigate this critical area of life.
