9 Strategies for Reaching Over-Churched Kids

Tony Kummer with another great post about over-church kids.  This one focuses on how to win them.

This point stood out to me as significant:
Model Repentance: With over-churched kids, we can’t pretend that Christians are always the good guys. They see behind our Sunday morning smiles and know that we’re not perfect people. When we are honest about our failings, and confess our sins, it points them to the Gospel. When teaching, use examples of Christian repentance and be transparent about your own struggles. This is a key to parenting, but it’s also a great strategy for kids ministry.
