Alongside is a much-needed resource for both parents and those in youth ministry. In this transformative book, Drew Hill unpacks the challenges teenagers face and shows how parents and youth leaders can share the gospel with them at this crucial age. Full of practical insight and biblical wisdom, Alongside is an invitation to love teenagers well with the hope of the gospel.
Teenagers are navigating questions about identity, belonging, and significance while also facing new realities of loneliness and isolation even in highly connected social-media environments. This book encourages adults to pursue meaningful relationships with teenagers and to engage their hearts rather than merely trying to change their behavior.
Drawing on Scripture, personal stories, and years of youth-ministry experience, Hill brings the unfiltered world of teenagers to life and offers concrete practices for building trust, starting meaningful conversations, and connecting the life of Jesus to teenagers' everyday struggles and longings.
How do we begin conversations that matter with our middle- and high-school friends? How do we build trust across the dining-room table? What does it look like to cultivate a group of parents and leaders united in prayer and purpose to see Christ change teenagers' lives? Alongside provides practical application and biblical truths to help adults share both the gospel and their lives with the next generation.
