The Center for Parent & Youth Understanding was born out of one Youth Leader's interest in culture and his church's parents desire to know more about the culture that their children where living in. As we get older, we naturally get farther and farther removed from the culture that teenage adolescents are immersed in. So we need some way of understanding what they are going through. CPYU and Walt Meuller have dedicated years to equipping parents and youth ministers to "Talk With" teenagers and help them develop into the Godly men and women they were created to be.
I am convenced, like Meuller, that as youth ministers and parents, we are called to be Cross-Cultural Missionaries, understanding the world that teenagers live in so that we can use God's Truth to help them along in this world that desires to bring them down.
Check out the CPYU Website for a great resource on Youth Culture or Walt Mueller's latest book that comes highly recommended for parents, "The Space Between Us."
