Ep. 163 “Come Follow Me” for Teens - The Old Testament Genesis 12–17; Abraham 1–2 “To Be a Greater Follower of Righteousness”

In this episode of Come Follow Me for Teens, we explore Genesis 12–17 and Abraham 1–2 and what it truly means to become “a greater follower of righteousness.” Abraham’s story begins in a troubled home marked by idolatry and spiritual danger—yet his desire to follow God changed his future.

We discuss how circumstances do not determine destiny, why covenants provide strength and direction, and how relationships can either strengthen or weaken our ability to hear the Lord’s voice. We also examine why it is often easier to avoid temptation than to resist it—and how small choices today shape the generations that follow.

This episode is designed to help parents and leaders guide teens in applying Abraham’s example to their own lives, reminding them that no matter where they begin, choosing Christ can redirect their entire story.

Ep. 162 “Come Follow Me” for Teens - The Old Testament Gen. 6-11, Moses Ch. 8 “Noah Found Grace in the Eyes of the Lord”

In this episode of Come Follow Me for Teens, we explore Genesis 6–11 and Moses 8 and why the stories of Noah and the Tower of Babel matter so much in our day. Jesus taught that the latter days would resemble the days of Noah—marked by corruption, violence, pride, confusion, and division.

More importantly, these chapters teach what to do in times like these. We discuss how Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord, how God provides protection for those who follow His pattern, and why choosing God’s way—rather than the easy way—brings clarity, peace, and spiritual strength. This episode is designed to help parents and leaders guide teens in applying these lessons to real-life choices and challenges they face today.
