• Rebellion is continued defiance or passive indifference toward God, his moral standards, or people God put in authority in a child’s life.

Why Do Christian Kids Rebel? • Your Christian Kid isn’t Christian after all • Your Christian Kid is Confused • Your Christian Kid is in Bondage to Sin

— Genesis 4:7

What is bondage? • Deep rooted sin, that is engrained in lifestyle, and becomes difficult to resist.

How Does this Happen? • Attacks Happen • Defenses Weaken • Compromise Occurs • Repentance is Ignored

What can we do? • Leverage Your Position • Create an Atmosphere Where it’s Okay to Come Clean • Normalize Confession and Repentance • Widen Your Circle

— How can I give you up? How can I surrender you? My heart is turned over within Me, All My compassions are poured. (Paraphrase of Hosea 11:8)
