Far too often we assume that we in the U.S. have it all figured out. We have countless church options, worship service times and styles, and programs that are intended to share the Gospel with those who have not yet experienced the enduring hope that comes from Jesus.

This week's parent resource shares a few things that we in the Western world can learn from the persecuted church. While addressed to Gen Z, any generation can benefit from learning more about what our brothers and sisters in Christ experience because of their faith. Use this resource to inform yourself and to initiate a conversation with the teens in your life.
