Description
Your kids are talking about identity. Are you part of the conversation?
Today’s kids and youth are talking about identity—and often very differently from the adults around them. How can we walk well with them through their questions about who they are and how they fit into the family of God? We must begin by telling a better gospel story, with an invitational posture that actually expects us to love God and love others. Rather than resolve a tension around perceived right and wrong, The Me I Was Made to Be equips parents and pastors to tell this better gospel story—one that helps kids understand who they are, how God sees them, and why they are an important part of God’s story.
In this engaging and disarming book that speaks to readers across the theological spectrum, author and children’s ministry expert Christie Penner Worden invites grown-ups along to imagine a more Jesus-centered narrative for the sake of kids who are no longer buying what the church is selling, who do not feel safe, and who have not been invited to the conversation that adults are having without them. It is a call to action for Jesus followers to engage the conversation with kids in a desire to walk with them as they learn both who they are and whose they are.
The Me I Was Made to Be is the beginning of a conversation that offers a better story on identity rooted in a better understanding of the gospel—one that includes all image-bearers and extends Jesus’ welcome to all our kids.
