Parenting for a Faith That Lasts

Youth workers are often encouraged to support parents, but most aren’t given the tools or time to do it well. Youth Ministry University is here to change that. We offer simple, practical resources that make it easy to come alongside parents and offer real help. No complicated prep. Just wins you can share and parents will truly value.

This course is packed with a who’s who of youth ministry veterans teaching on these important topics:

  • Heather Flies: The Middle School Years: From Dependence to Independence
  • Dr. Jim Burns: Energizing Your Kids’ Faith
  • Dr. Kara Powell: Teenagers & Anxiety
  • Mark Oestreicher: Understanding the Teenage Brain
  • Dr. Sean McDowell: Parenting Today's Digitally Native Generation
  • Katie Edwards: How to help teenagers develop lifelong faith

These training videos are flexible and easy to use with parents. Share a login so they can watch on their own time, or play one or more videos during a parent night or gathering at church.


In this parenting course, youth ministry experts and veteran parents tackle helpful topics parents are looking for. These six videos won’t solve every parenting issue, but they’ll definitely send a message to your ministry's parents that you (as the youth worker) are taking steps to help them win in practical ways.
