Talk #1: Media.Faith.Culture parents 101 at 2:30 p.m.
----------------------------------------
Growing up, you didn’t have the Internet, your friends didn’t cut themselves and text messaging wasn’t even on the radar. How can we help guide our children to live Godly lives amidst this kind of cultural climate?
Brett Ullman discusses, from a parent’s perspective, sensitive topics affecting today’s young people including cutting, su***de, substance abuse, s*x and violence. Bringing hope and an awareness to today’s parents, Brett sheds light on how with increased knowledge of youth trends, adults can be more discerning in their parenting
strategies and better able to anticipate the needs of their children as they navigate the often challenging waters of adolescence.

Talk #2: Media.Faith.Culture at 7:00 p.m.
-----------------------------
Our World calls to us through our ipods, magazines, movies and television sets. Our Faith suggests our lives ought to reflect values and sentiments that often conflict with popular culture. Our God wants us to fit in, to share His love with others. How do we exist in an overwhelmingly media-saturated culture and what is our response to it? Rather than being involuntarily shaped by pop culture, how do we affect it?
Shaping the lives of young people today, Brett Ullman addresses teen topics including cutting, su***de, drugs, s*x and violence in an open and straight forward manner. This youth-focused seminar is meant to open the eyes of participants to the trends in modern media, their potential effects on our lives and what a Christian response to this cultural paradox ought to resemble.
