Chap Clark – Encouraging Teens Along Life's Way
Aired November 4, 2007


Parenting adolescents is becoming a more challenging task with every generation – or so it seems. Cultural and technological forces are complicating every parent’s assignment of raising wholesome kids who live meaningful lives, but mistakes and misperceptions of parents are not helping the picture. Chap Clark, professor of youth, family and culture at Fuller Theological Seminary, has some very astute insights about parenting and kids. His ultimate goal is for every teenager to receive enough guidance and encouragement to know how extraordinary the love of God is.
