Helping your child make wise choices about sex and dating requires more than just one chat. It’s about building bridges of ongoing dialogue throughout the teenage years.
But youth workers Mark Oestreicher and Joel Mayward realize many parents don’t feel comfortable or prepared to have these kinds of conversations. That’s why they wrote A Parent’s Guide to Understanding Sex and Dating—to equip you to initiate healthy, honest discussions with your teenager. This book will also help you understand some of the relevant trends and issues in today’s youth culture.
Your role as a parent is to do more than provide your teenager with information about sex and dating. You have the opportunity and the calling to help your child live wisely and honor God in this sometimes tricky, occasionally awkward, and always vital area of life.
Order your copy of A Parent’s Guide to Understanding Sex and Dating NOW!

Stephanie EisMore PostsNeed A Valentine’s Day Lesson???
Looking for creative ways to capture your students’ attention during the holiday seasons? Your wish is our command: We’re proud to unveil LIVE Holiday, part of our dynamic LIVE Curriculum line of resources. This exciting volume features curriculum built around three major themes:
Christmas Series As we read through the amazing, powerful story of Christmas, we encounter characters that form the essential foundation for this history-changing event. This six-week series will guide you through their stories and will help your students learn more about the Christmas narrative and how it relates to their lives today.
Easter Series The Easter season is a reflective time that allows us to celebrate and remember the sacrifice and price Jesus paid for our salvation. Your students will explore various elements of the Easter season: Jesus’ suffering, his triumphant entry, his death, and his resurrection. The four lessons can be used together as one series or used separately.
Single-Day Holidays This series includes five lessons that cover a variety of holidays throughout the year. Each lesson can be used in the midst of those specific holidays or can be used at a different time to cover a specific theme that coordinates with the holiday.
Make the holidays a memorable highlight for your students, while helping them discover how the Bible remains relevant to their lives—every day of every month, throughout the year!

Stephanie EisMore PostsNEW LIVE Simple Truth!
Imagine empowering your students to explore some life-shaping, thought-provoking, Jesus-centered truths that can transform them into the kind of people God crafted them to be. That’s what LIVE Simple Truth is all about! Each lesson powerfully reveals what it means to deeply love and trust God, to lead a Jesus-centered life, and to lean on Scripture for guidance and wisdom.

Lessons are built around four central themes from Scripture:
Oneness With God
Sin and Separation
Consequences and Crying Out
God Hears and Restores
Teenagers will discover how to experience hope in the middle of tough times, how God deeply and passionately loves them, how to build an authentic friendship with Jesus, and how they were created to lead a life of impact in this world and for eternity.
