Very excited to announce that I’m hosting a webinar titled, “How wealth impacts your kids and what you can do about it.” And I’d love for you to join me on Zoom for this conversation.
Parents often ask me what they can do to help their teenagers and children resist the temptations of consumerism. There is broad concern about our kids being inundated with nonstop advertising that pulls them toward materialism and away from empathy and compassion for others. What can be done to help our children break out of the bubble of wealth and privilege?
Over the years my work in Belize has given me a unique perspective on poverty, privilege, and empathy. I’ve seen the impact of taking families to Belize and interacting with students and families who do not have the resources we have in the US. This is often a transitional moment in the lives of young people. But short of that kind of experience, what can be done to help our children navigate it all?
I may not be an expert on this topic, but I know people who are! And that’s why I’m excited to have Professor Kara Powell as a guest on the webinar.
Kara is the Chief of Leadership Formation at Fuller Theological Seminary, as well as the Executive Director of the Fuller Youth Institute. Named by Christianity Today as one of “50 Women to Watch,” Kara is the author or co-author of 3 Big Questions That Change Every Teenager (2021), Faith in an Anxious World (2020), Growing With (2019), 18 Plus (2018), Growing Young (2016), 10 Sticky Faith books or curriculum (2011–2016), plus several other books related to raising healthy teens.
Clearly, she is the right person to ask about this topic!
I believe this topic is critically important. If you know someone who would be interested in this webinar, please forward this to them. Churches and faith-based nonprofit organizations are also welcome to attend.
This webinar is on October 13, 2021, at noon pacific. You can add the event to your calendar through one of these links:
