CROP Ministries

CROP Ministries CROP Ministries mentors families with children between the ages of 11-15 years old. Will Your Child Walk Away from Their Faith? The key moment of disengagement?

Results are teens claim the Christian faith as their own, they read their Bible more, they obey and honor their parents and siblings more. The world your child is growing up in today is drastically different from the one you knew. Social pressures, cultural shifts, and the rise of secular ideologies all pose serious challenges to their spiritual growth. Are you ready to take action to help them st

and firm in their faith? In "Already Gone: Why Your Kids Will Quit Church and What You Can Do to Stop It", Ken Ham and Britt Beemer reveal a startling statistic: 75% of children raised in the church will walk away from their faith by their mid-20s. This sobering reality shows that most parents—despite their best efforts—fail to raise strong, committed Christian adults. The pr***en and early teen years. Will you be part of the 25% of parents who take proactive steps to change this trend? CROP Ministries offers a roadmap for critical conversations between parents and teens. Designed to equip both generations with the tools to address the tough but vital topics of faith, culture, and life, it’s an essential resource for navigating the challenges your child will face. When you enroll in the CROP program, you gain access to an extensive library of curriculum, video lessons and additional resources, helping you and your teen stay grounded in a faith that lasts. Take the first step in making sure your child’s faith doesn’t fade away—because the odds can be changed, but it starts with you.

I'll be speaking AND have a booth at the upcoming "Called to Prepare" North Idaho Homeschool Conference on Saturday, Feb. 7. The title of my presentation is "Raising God-Honoring Teens in a Media-Driven Culture".

Most parents feel unsure about the digital world their teens live in. This workshop explains how today’s online culture shapes young people mentally, emotionally, and socially, and provides practical, faith-informed strategies to guide them toward healthy digital habits. You’ll also discover helpful tools, resources, and strategies that make it easier to set boundaries and support your teen in managing their online life with wisdom.

Even if you don't homeschool your kids, come to this event to learn about the resources, strategies and tools that help parents win the battle of digital screen time.

This is the latest podcast that I was interviewed on. I was fighting a head cold and congestion. I realized my comments often wandered from the original question being posed. Sometimes I came back to the question, other times I stayed on that rabbit trail. Nevertheless, I thought you might want to hear it.

My most recent podcast interview. I feel it’s the best one I’ve done so far. Family, parenting, tough decisions, challenges, life calling. So many areas covered. Don’t let the interview length deter you, as it’s broken upon into small chapter bites. I hope you get something meaningful out of it. Blessings!

Did you know ….

Three out of four kids raised in Christian households will disengage from their faith by the time they reach their mid-20’s?

That means Christian families and churches have a 75% failure rate in successfully launching our youth into young Christian adulthood.

Do you have/know someone who has a 10-15 year old, and wants to put the odds in their favor that theirs will be the one out of four that doesn’t?

Join our LIVE free online Skool webinar every Tuesday at 5:00 pm PST to learn how.

This group is dedicated to the moms and dads, grandmas and grandpas, and all other adults who value mentoring and discipling our youth.

While we prepare our kids for back to school, which can include new outfits, backpack, supplies and household routines, we should also prepare them for how to handle a bully.
