Tolerating the Intolerable

Today’s culture believes the greatest virtue in the world is tolerance. It affects almost every line of thought, right down to the young people in the church. It’s a doctrine that teaches all opinions, values, lifestyles and beliefs are equal. And the latest shift of truth has taken it even further, where truth has gone beyond being subjective to being based on emotions. For the first time in history, feelings trump truth.

How do we raise our children to be true followers of Christ in a culture where truth is subjective or even based on feelings? In this eye-opening message, Josh walks you through four simple principles that will give you hope as you start the process of leading your children to walk in the truth of their faith.

La Tormenta Perfecta

A youth crisis of monumental proportions is brewing. It is the confluence of an intellectual storm, a moral storm and a relational storm all driven by the winds of a destructive internet influence on our young people.

In this sobering, but much needed message for the church and believers, Josh shares shocking statistics on our youth’s Christian belief system and how the internet affects their beliefs and morality.  It has leveled the “playing field” in terms of differing worldviews influencing our kids.  Pornography is specifically addressed as it is the number one hinderance to a person’s spiritual life. While it can seem disheartening, there is hope with solutions that move young people from not just knowing qué they believe, but por qué they believe it.

Teaching Truth in a “Whatever” Culture

Recent surveys show a large percentage of our youth leave the church upon graduation. For the most part, their values, beliefs and worldviews do not mirror those of their parents. Examining the major movements in history, Josh presents a riveting explanation of culture’s shifting view of truth to where we are today with the issue of tolerance (all opinions, beliefs and lifestyles being equal).

You will hear shocking statistics on our youth’s Christian belief system. But, you’ll also find hope as we move young people from not just knowing qué they believe, but por qué they believe it. You podemos leave a faith legacy.

Straight Talk with Your Kids About Sex

In a sex-obsessed, media-saturated culture, you can be sure your kids are getting the message. But is it the one you want them to get? If your kids are going to get the message about God’s plan for sex, you are the right choice to give it. Taken from Josh and his wife, Dottie’s, own experience raising four children, you’ll gain confidence, encouragement and practical application during that sometimes awkward process of guiding your children into a healthy understanding of God’s gift of sex.

Mírate como Dios te Mira (See Yourself as God Sees You)

Too often we fall into the trap that our identity is shaped by how we look, how we perform and what we achieve. We live a life of performance and expectations. In this life-changing message, you’ll learn that your self-image should be based on how God views you…no more and no less. And how does God view us? Your audience will be blown away when Josh gets to the heart of how God sees us—lovable, valuable and competent. He demonstrated that by taking extraordinary steps so we could enjoy a relationship with Him.

Lo Bueno de lo Malo

In a culture where truth is subjective, our young people need a strong foundation for determining por qué things are right and por qué things are wrong. Josh covers four of the most common responses to why things like lying are wrong and exposes the incorrect thinking behind them. He presents a 4 “C”s process that brings the determination of right and wrong back to the very person, nature and character of God. This message can play a vital role in strengthening the moral foundations of our young people.

Power to Forgive

Nothing destroys relationships faster than the lack of forgiveness…either the giving or the receiving of it. An unforgiving person cannot develop intimate lasting relationships. Drawing upon his own painful childhood, Josh candidly shares the struggles he went through to forgive the man who sexually abused him. Utilizing the “Power to Forgive” sets you free from bitterness and allows you to experience the joy God intended.

Por el Bien de los Niños

Internet pornography is one of the top challenges facing the church and Christian families today, but one of the least talked about. In that silence, pornography is leaving a destructive wake. The average age of a young person when first exposed to pornography is eight years old.

Parents too often mistakenly believe their kids are protected. But porn is aggressive, invasive and just one click away. In this heartfelt, passionate message from a father and grandfather, Josh presents the scope of internet porn, its addictiveness and its neurological impact on the brain. A variety of practical steps are laid out to help parents and grandparents prepare their kids and grandkids for the first time they see pornography and not fall for a cheap substitute of God’s original design for sex.

Un Trayecto Escéptico

Únete a Josh mientras comparte la inolvidable historia de su encuentro personal con Jesucristo. Una vida familiar disfuncional, un padre alcohólico y violento y un trabajador de la granja familiar que le abusaba sexualmente, dejaron a Josh con toda una vida de cicatrices y vergüenza. Deseoso de denunciar la existencia de un Dios amoroso, se propuso refutar intelectualmente el cristianismo. Encontrarás aliento, esperanza y redención en la historia de Josh de cómo el amor apasionado y la gracia de Dios, junto con las pruebas de la verdad del cristianismo, cambiaron para siempre la vida de este ex agnóstico.
