Dr. Tim Elmore Interview About Technology and the Family

I sat down last week with Dr. Tim Elmore at the D6 Conference and talked with him about technology and the family. Tim is the founder and president of Growing Leaders, an organization that develops emerging leaders.

He is also the author of over 25 books, including his new book, Artificial Maturity...Helping Kids Meet the Challenge of Becoming Authentic Adults.

Here's the interview. Tim provides great insight that will greatly benefit Children and Family Ministry Leaders.

D6 Conference Highlights (Day 2)

12:23 AM Unknown

Here are some highlights from Day 2.

Pete Wilson, Pastor of Cross Point Church in Nashville

What matters most is not what you accomplish but what you become.
Your main job is to stay connected to God.
Languishing – failure to thrive. Absence of mental and emotional vitality.
Are you addicted to doing for God instead of being for God?
Do you want a man-sized solution or God-sized obedience?
Constant contact with our Creator is essential to fulfilling our calling.

Dr. Richard Ross, Southwestern Seminary

Concentric circles (me, spouse, children, others)
Starts with you. (abide in Me)
Faith at home practices led by spiritually lethargic parents leads to spiritually lethargic children.
Do you worship Jesus with your spouse?
How you live is what you believe.
What shapes the heart most is leading your children to love Jesus and abide in Him.
Awake, adore, abide.
Are you an expert at ministry but a novel at being God’s friend?
When you abide...

God will reward you supernaturally.
You will follow more of His leading.
You will tap into more of God’s passions.

Tim Elmore, Author of Artificial Maturity

Adolescence is expanding both ways.
26 is the new 18.
Kids are growing up too fast and too slow.
Students are over-exposed to information far earlier than they are ready.
Students are under-exposed to real life experiences far later than they are ready
Biblical knowledge is to fully perceive and understand through experience.
Generation iY is the newest batch of kids. Characteristics...

Parental control. Average college student text their parents 11 times a day. Kids are their trophy.
Technology central.
Affirmation constant.
Expectations lofty.
Scheduled structured.
Feedback immediate.
Upload available.
Stress rising.

Three kinds of students you must connect with...

Driver
Diplomat
Dreamer

Four Images that will help you with today's young leaders...

Chess and Checkers. Checkers are all the same. Chess pieces are different. Effective leaders connect with people's different personalities and gifts.
Velvet covered brick. Grace and love with solid principles inside. Must be responsive and demanding.
Rivers and floods. Be rivers not floods. A river is focused...a flood is not. Kids need focused direction and guidance.
Drivers and passengers. Have raised kids to be passengers in life instead of drivers. Teach kids to balance autonomy, responsibility, and information.
