Melissa Ernst - FOSTERing Positive Mentorship Relationships

We recognize that all of our students struggle with comparison. This session is geared especially towards women who serve with teen/pre-teen girls, but all are welcome.Comparison is robbing our teenage girls from a life of freedom in God. It strips away our unique, God given qualities and shifts focus to our flaws. The church needs to be equipped to fight this spiritual battle with more than self-love and inspiring quotes. This session will address the issues of comparison, self-esteem, diet culture and social media. We’ll explore current research and trends on how comparison is impacting our students and how we can practically use Biblical truths to guide students to freedom from distorted thoughts and beliefs.
