SummaryPastor Campbell discusses the challenges faced by church kids, emphasizing the importance of true conversion and the dangers of entitlement and offense. He shares personal anecdotes and insights from others to illustrate how upbringing in the church can lead to a lack of appreciation for faith and community.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Personal Reflections01:32 The Challenge for Church Kids09:55 The Importance of True Conversion14:33 The Shift in Perspective20:45 Entitlement and Appreciation26:29 The Danger of Offense32:04 The Father's Heart vs. The Elder Brother's Heart34:29 Processing Life's Challenges36:42 Conclusion and Call to ActionTakeawaysThe challenge for church kids is often conformity without true conversion.Many church kids know the language of faith but lack a personal relationship with God.True conversion involves a heart change, not just outward behavior.Church kids can feel entitled and may not appreciate the value of their upbringing.Experiencing life outside the church can provide perspective on its value.Offenses can be inherited from parents and must be dealt with individually.Living in the Father's house does not guarantee having the Father's heart.Processing life's challenges is essential for spiritual growth and maturity.Church kids have the potential to change the world if they embrace their faith.Conversion comes with a price and requires a commitment to God.Show NotesALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISMLocate a CFM Church near you: https://cfmmap.orgWe need five-star reviews!
