Connection over Content - Let's keep it simple:

Pursue Kids: Are you going after them?
Pursue Jesus: Are you staying filled up so you can pour out?

-

What does it mean to connect?

Are you reaching out consistently?
Are you interested in what they are interested in?
Are you remembering important issues in their life?
Are you showing up? Games, events, etc…
Are you speaking life? When they leave your presence, how do you want them to feel?

-

“A kid doesn’t care what you know until they know that you care”

Mentors who invested into us - Often, we don't remember what they said, but we remember them showing up. We remember how they made me feel. Content is good. Teaching them things. Books. Pods. It is good... but it’s secondary.

Connection is primary.
