As teens, our children grow increasingly independent, which is exactly what we want them to do. However, they still need our guidance. How can we faithfully encourage, support, and foster their growth in the Lord? This workshop session with Melissa Kruger and Jen Wilkin from The Gospel Coalition’s 2018 Women’s Conference considers the blessings and challenges of discipleship in the teen years.

Jen Wilkin is an author and Bible teacher from Dallas, Texas. She has organized and led studies for women in home, church, and parachurch contexts. An advocate for Bible literacy, her passion is to see others become articulate and committed followers of Christ, with a clear understanding of why they believe what they believe, grounded in the Word of God. You can find her at her website.

Melissa Kruger serves as the vice president of discipleship programming for The Gospel Coalition (TGC). She’s the author of multiple books, including The Envy of Eve: Finding Contentment in a Covetous World, Walking with God in the Season of Motherhood, Growing Together: Taking Mentoring Beyond Small Talk and Prayer Requests, Wherever You Go, I Want You to Know, and Parenting with Hope: Raising Teens for Christ in a Secular Age. Her husband, Mike, is the Samuel C. Patterson chancellor’s professor of New Testament and early Christianity at Reformed Theological Seminary, and they have three children.
