Can we go to Lunch?: Winning, Developing, & Mentoring the Heart of a Teenager (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781684880577)

In a day and age where we are globally connected more than we have ever been in the history of the earth, it is well researched and documented that teenagers are reporting more feelings of loneliness and teenage suicide is more prevalent than ever before. For those of us who have chosen to bravely love and walk alongside the next generation we must understand that the need for mentorship within the context of relationship is what our teenagers need. They crave and desire to be fully known and deeply loved. When you spend consistent time with them, you earn the ability to speak into their lives, whether that is words of encouragement or correction. During the 2010s decade, while Kendra was in her 20s and Kenya was in her teenage years, we had the opportunity to do exactly this with each other.

The narrative around the next generation is not always one full of hope and belief. It takes a certain type of person to pour their lives into teenagers where we often do more seed planting, than we do reaping the harvest of our labor. If you have the courage to read on, we believe you will glean great insight into winning, developing, and mentoring the heart of your teenager and begin to help us change the negative narrative one teenager at a time. If you believe like we do, that the future of our world depends on how we commit to them, we invite you into our story. We intend to be part of the solution ... won't you join us?
