Take Five (Part 2 of 2)

In Grounded in Grace, Jonathan Holmes addresses the critical issue of identity formation in children and teenagers. He offers a biblical perspective to counteract the influence of social media, cultural trends, and peer pressure that often lead to confusion and mental health struggles. The book emphasizes the importance of proactive parental involvement in discipling children and grounding their identity in God's grace. Holmes outlines five core areas of identity struggles that young people commonly face, including academics, sports, moralism, sexual orientation, and gender confusion. He encourages parents and ministers to engage with these issues by understanding the underlying lies about identity and reclaiming a biblical vision. The book aims to equip adults to guide the next generation toward a secure and flourishing identity rooted in Christ.
