Hope recently presented her first paper at the Evangelical Theological Society's Midwest Conference last weekend. Entitled "The Heart That Holds On: Cultivating a Lasting Devotion to God in Youth", this work focuses on the potential dangers that arise when being raised in a Christian home. Hope searches Scripture, studies church and family trends, and discusses not only how to prevent these disadvantages, but how to use the challenges as a way to remind parents to disciple their children in Christ. In other words, this paper's focus in not on merely surviving, but thriving as Christians work to pass the baton on to the next generation.
The ETS Conference was just the beginning for this paper as well as Hope's thoughts and studies in this area. She fielded questions from the audience and is continually compiling research that will assist her in further answering these and other questions on the topic.
We would like to share the paper with you for your thoughts, comments, insights, and questions. As such, we have uploaded "The Heart That Holds On" to our website and you can download it now in PDF form.
Enjoying reading through it and feel free to pass it on to others!
Stand,
Kyle
