You know, you shared a story with me a long time ago; and I\u2019ve never forgotten it. You said you were pumping gas at the gas station, and a car pulled up on the other side. A teenager got out, and it was somebody you knew from school, or church, or whatever\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>He was in my sixth-grade Sunday school class. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>You remember this story?!\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>He grew up and went on through high school.

[Laughter] You know: \u201cMr. Rainey\u2019s Sunday school class\u2014what are you going to do?\u201d\u2014your Sunday school teacher has caught you dead-on at the gas pump there\u2014which you shouldn\u2019t have been doing in the <em>first<\/em> place\u2014\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>\u2014not around the gas pump!\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>\u2014not around the gas pump.

In it, Kara, you mentioned a concept about intergenerational influence on our kids and how important they are to helping our kids embrace their faith as they grow up. What do you mean by that?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<br><strong>Kara: <\/strong>Well, our team started our <em>Sticky Faith<\/em> research because we were disturbed by the reality that almost half of kids\u2014from <em>great<\/em> families and <em>great<\/em> churches\u2014drift from God and the church after they graduate from high school. We wanted to figure out why that is and what families and churches could do about it. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<br>In our three-year longitudinal study of over 500 youth group graduates, we were trying to look at particular youth group participation variables to see how they were related to mature faith. We were, in all honesty, trying to find kind of a silver bullet when it came to long-term faith. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<br>Well, you\u2019ll be glad that of the 13 youth group participation variables we looked at\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>4:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u2014things like studying Scripture was related to mature faith \/ service and justice work related to mature faith\u2014but of the 13 variables we looked at, the one that was <em>most<\/em> correlated to mature faith\u2014and we call this, not a silver bullet, but silver shavings\u2014was intergenerational relationships and worship\u2014in other words, helping young people experience the full <em>life<\/em> and full adult relationships of the church. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI <em>love<\/em> how we have professional children\u2019s ministry leaders \/ professional youth leaders\u2014I think that\u2019s <em>fantastic<\/em>.

That\u2019s not a good model\u201d?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Kara: <\/strong>Yes, creative churches are saying, \u201cIf we care about our young people,\u201d\u2014well, we <em>still<\/em> need times and places for young people to be on their own, talking about life-stage issues. You know, one youth leader told me, \u201cThe average 16-year-old doesn\u2019t want to talk about pornography with grandma in the room\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Right. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Kara: <\/strong>\u2014\u201cand neither does grandma.\u201d\u00a0 So, that\u2019s a win-win for everybody. We absolutely need those places\u2014just like I, as a mom, need to be with other moms\u2014but we\u2019ve emphasized that too much. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tCreative and entrepreneurial churches are saying: \u201cHow can we, maybe, have the kids in the worship service for 15 minutes?\u00a0 How can we, once a quarter \/ once a month, do intergenerational worship?\u00a0 How can we create intergenerational mentoring?\u201d\u00a0 For churches who say, \u201cWe really can\u2019t change much of what we do with the weekend worship services,\u201d\u2014\u201cHow can we help adults and young people rub shoulders and share life together during the week?\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>You\u2019ve got three kids at home; right?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Kara: <\/strong>Yes. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>And if they\u2019re in the big church service with Mom and Dad. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>6:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tDo they doodle, and pull out their phones, and kind of get lost in their own world?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Kara: <\/strong>Well, our two teenagers\u2014they don\u2019t; but with our youngest\u2014especially when she was six or seven\u2014she did have a hard time tracking with the adult sermon, so to speak. So, we would let her read. We\u2019d establish with her the times during the worship service where she can read and when she can\u2019t. She can\u2019t read during prayer \/ she can\u2019t read during singing, but she can read during various parts of the sermon. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI will say\u2014our church\u2014we only do intergenerational worship\u2014we\u2019re a 5,000-person church\u2014so intergenerational worship is a little challenging to bring together\u2014so we do it, maybe, six or seven times a year. Again, our church is saying, \u201cLet\u2019s take some baby steps with intergenerational worship; but let\u2019s figure out how we can have kids and adults interact more on short-term missions trips, on family barbeques, et cetera.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>What you\u2019re trying to replicate in the church ought to be happening with Grandma and Grandpa as a part of the family\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>7:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u2014talking about real-life issues; doing a little porch-sitting together; maybe, praying together as a family\u2014not just on the holidays\u2014Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter\u2014but getting together. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou talk about rubbing shoulders\u2014you\u2019re not just talking about sitting in a church building and not interacting with each other\u2014has to be some kind of interaction, I would think, for a true faith deposit to be made by an older generation on a younger one. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Kara: <\/strong>Yes. And by working with <em>Sticky Faith<\/em> churches through our yearlong cohort program, we\u2019ve been able to see an important distinction\u2014which you are hinting at, Dennis; and that is, there is a difference between multigenerational worship and intergenerational worship. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tMultigenerational is when everybody is in the same room together, but we\u2019re sitting with our own life-stage and we\u2019re not really interacting. Intergeneration is when we\u2019re not just sitting shoulder-to-shoulder, but we\u2019re looking at each other eye-to-eye. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>And this is not, as Dennis is saying, just about what happens at church.

So, for instance, one of the ways that <em>Sticky Faith<\/em> has impacted our family is\u2014as our two oldest have and are turning 13, we wanted to really cement for them this idea that, as they are literally becoming teenagers, there are five adults surrounding them. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>10:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tOur son turned 13 first, a few years ago. We went to him and we said, \u201cOkay, let\u2019s identify five men that you\u2019re going to spend some time with.\u201d\u00a0 He rattled off the five men that we thought he would\u2014who were, by the way, between about ages 35 and 72. It was a nice broad-age range\u2014men that he looks up to, largely from our church. We contacted all five of those men and said: \u201cHey, sometime, before Nathan turns 13, would you spend a few hours with him?\u00a0 Take him on a hike \/ take him to wash your car\u2014we don\u2019t care what you do, but we just want you to share some life advice and spiritual advice.\u201d\u00a0 All five of those men said, \u201cYes.\u201d\u00a0 Nathan had a <em>fantastic<\/em> series of gatherings with these five men, one at a time. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<br><strong>Dennis: <\/strong>Do you know what any of the five topics were that those men passed on to your son?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Kara: <\/strong>Yes, because we actually asked them to put it in writing and give it to our son.

In it, Kara, you mentioned a concept about intergenerational influence on our kids and how important they are to helping our kids embrace their faith as they grow up. What do you mean by that?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<br><strong>Kara: <\/strong>Well, our team started our <em>Sticky Faith<\/em> research because we were disturbed by the reality that almost half of kids\u2014from <em>great<\/em> families and <em>great<\/em> churches\u2014drift from God and the church after they graduate from high school. We wanted to figure out why that is and what families and churches could do about it. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<br>In our three-year longitudinal study of over 500 youth group graduates, we were trying to look at particular youth group participation variables to see how they were related to mature faith. We were, in all honesty, trying to find kind of a silver bullet when it came to long-term faith. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<br>Well, you\u2019ll be glad that of the 13 youth group participation variables we looked at\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>4:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u2014things like studying Scripture was related to mature faith \/ service and justice work related to mature faith\u2014but of the 13 variables we looked at, the one that was <em>most<\/em> correlated to mature faith\u2014and we call this, not a silver bullet, but silver shavings\u2014was intergenerational relationships and worship\u2014in other words, helping young people experience the full <em>life<\/em> and full adult relationships of the church. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI <em>love<\/em> how we have professional children\u2019s ministry leaders \/ professional youth leaders\u2014I think that\u2019s <em>fantastic<\/em>.

That\u2019s not a good model\u201d?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Kara: <\/strong>Yes, creative churches are saying, \u201cIf we care about our young people,\u201d\u2014well, we <em>still<\/em> need times and places for young people to be on their own, talking about life-stage issues. You know, one youth leader told me, \u201cThe average 16-year-old doesn\u2019t want to talk about pornography with grandma in the room\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Right. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Kara: <\/strong>\u2014\u201cand neither does grandma.\u201d\u00a0 So, that\u2019s a win-win for everybody. We absolutely need those places\u2014just like I, as a mom, need to be with other moms\u2014but we\u2019ve emphasized that too much. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tCreative and entrepreneurial churches are saying: \u201cHow can we, maybe, have the kids in the worship service for 15 minutes?\u00a0 How can we, once a quarter \/ once a month, do intergenerational worship?\u00a0 How can we create intergenerational mentoring?\u201d\u00a0 For churches who say, \u201cWe really can\u2019t change much of what we do with the weekend worship services,\u201d\u2014\u201cHow can we help adults and young people rub shoulders and share life together during the week?\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>You\u2019ve got three kids at home; right?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Kara: <\/strong>Yes. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>And if they\u2019re in the big church service with Mom and Dad. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>6:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tDo they doodle, and pull out their phones, and kind of get lost in their own world?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Kara: <\/strong>Well, our two teenagers\u2014they don\u2019t; but with our youngest\u2014especially when she was six or seven\u2014she did have a hard time tracking with the adult sermon, so to speak. So, we would let her read. We\u2019d establish with her the times during the worship service where she can read and when she can\u2019t. She can\u2019t read during prayer \/ she can\u2019t read during singing, but she can read during various parts of the sermon. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI will say\u2014our church\u2014we only do intergenerational worship\u2014we\u2019re a 5,000-person church\u2014so intergenerational worship is a little challenging to bring together\u2014so we do it, maybe, six or seven times a year. Again, our church is saying, \u201cLet\u2019s take some baby steps with intergenerational worship; but let\u2019s figure out how we can have kids and adults interact more on short-term missions trips, on family barbeques, et cetera.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>What you\u2019re trying to replicate in the church ought to be happening with Grandma and Grandpa as a part of the family\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>7:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u2014talking about real-life issues; doing a little porch-sitting together; maybe, praying together as a family\u2014not just on the holidays\u2014Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter\u2014but getting together. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou talk about rubbing shoulders\u2014you\u2019re not just talking about sitting in a church building and not interacting with each other\u2014has to be some kind of interaction, I would think, for a true faith deposit to be made by an older generation on a younger one. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Kara: <\/strong>Yes. And by working with <em>Sticky Faith<\/em> churches through our yearlong cohort program, we\u2019ve been able to see an important distinction\u2014which you are hinting at, Dennis; and that is, there is a difference between multigenerational worship and intergenerational worship. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tMultigenerational is when everybody is in the same room together, but we\u2019re sitting with our own life-stage and we\u2019re not really interacting. Intergeneration is when we\u2019re not just sitting shoulder-to-shoulder, but we\u2019re looking at each other eye-to-eye. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>And this is not, as Dennis is saying, just about what happens at church. This may be one of the reasons why the family dinner table is as big a deal as it is\u2014or why having relatives over, or friends over, and extended family members over\u2014and all of you doing stuff together. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>8:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tOur kids need to see that what Mom and Dad are talking about, and what they say they believe, and the way that they do life\u2014they\u2019re not just some weird couple that I happen to get assigned to live with, but there are other people who embrace Mom and Dad\u2019s values\u2014\u201cThere is a guy who is going to stop me at the gas station, and he\u2019s going to encourage me on.\u201d\u00a0 We need to be speaking into the lives of the kids in a broader covenant community. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Kara: <\/strong>Yes. And I love it when we can take research and make it as practical as possible. So, let\u2019s try to do that together. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tOne of the ways that my friend and colleague at Fuller, Chap Clark, has tried to operationalize this\u2014is he talks about, \u201cLet\u2019s reverse the five-to-one ratio.\u201d\u00a0 What do we mean by that?\u00a0 In children\u2019s ministry \/ in youth ministry in congregations, we\u2019ll talk a lot about, \u201cWe want one adult for every five kids.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>9:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWhat we\u2019re saying, out of our <em>Sticky Faith<\/em> research, is: \u201cLet\u2019s reverse that so we have <em>five<\/em> adults for every kid,\u201d\u2014not five Bible study leaders \/ not five Sunday school teachers\u2014but <em>five<\/em> adults who are on that kid\u2019s team\u2014five adults who come to hockey games, five adults who come to Boy Scouts \/ Girl Scouts, piano recital, that play\u2014five adults who that kid knows when there are topics they maybe can\u2019t talk about with Mom, Dad, Stepmom, Stepdad\u2014when they are struggling in ways that they need that web of support\u2014that kid knows that those adults are there. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe way we talk about that in our family really practically is, \u201cWho is on your team?\u201d\u00a0 We talk regularly with our kids about the adults who are on their team. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>And that takes leadership\u2014you\u2019ve just got to call people out and say, \u201cWho will be the five?\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Kara: <\/strong>Yes. And the good news is\u2014as our kids get older, we can involve them in helping identify the five. So, for instance, one of the ways that <em>Sticky Faith<\/em> has impacted our family is\u2014as our two oldest have and are turning 13, we wanted to really cement for them this idea that, as they are literally becoming teenagers, there are five adults surrounding them. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>10:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tOur son turned 13 first, a few years ago. We went to him and we said, \u201cOkay, let\u2019s identify five men that you\u2019re going to spend some time with.\u201d\u00a0 He rattled off the five men that we thought he would\u2014who were, by the way, between about ages 35 and 72. It was a nice broad-age range\u2014men that he looks up to, largely from our church. We contacted all five of those men and said: \u201cHey, sometime, before Nathan turns 13, would you spend a few hours with him?\u00a0 Take him on a hike \/ take him to wash your car\u2014we don\u2019t care what you do, but we just want you to share some life advice and spiritual advice.\u201d\u00a0 All five of those men said, \u201cYes.\u201d\u00a0 Nathan had a <em>fantastic<\/em> series of gatherings with these five men, one at a time. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<br><strong>Dennis: <\/strong>Do you know what any of the five topics were that those men passed on to your son?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Kara: <\/strong>Yes, because we actually asked them to put it in writing and give it to our son.

The reason we made it a box is so that we could continue to add men into Nathan\u2019s team in a tangible way. Sure enough, a few months ago, we asked our junior high pastor to do the same thing with Nathan. We\u2019re going to keep adding men to that box for Nathan. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tNow, we\u2019re doing the same thing with Krista as she turns 13. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>You know, Bob, one of the things that we\u2019ve done, here at FamilyLife\u2014it\u2019s not exactly what Kara has done here with her son; but we have created a resource called <em>Passport2Purity<\/em><sup>\u00ae<\/sup>. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Yes. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>That is an older generation\u2014a mom speaking to her daughter or a father to his son.
