Letters from Downstream

Christian parents hope that the years their children spent in youth ministries of the local church will be enough to sustain their faith when they go off to college. But students often drift from the faith during their college years, leaving their parents wondering what went wrong. In Letters from DOWNSTREAM, former university pastor Jim Musser tackles the upstream sources of weak spiritual foundations and immaturity in high school graduates. To prepare our young people to maintain, defend, and spread their faith in college, he points to a basic practice laid out in the New Testament—discipleship.
