Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this study was to (1) investigate the relationship between self-esteem and faith maturity among Christian adolescents, and to (2) provide practical recommendations for youth pastors and teachers, Christian parents, Christian youths, and future researchers as to why Christians should have high self-esteem based on the summary and evaluation of relevant researches and the biblical/theological perspective of the issue. //p// For this purpose, chapter 2 discusses the following: self-esteem subjects among adolescents such as academic achievement, mental health, and gender differences as it relates to self-esteem, the dynamics of self-esteem among adolescents, and self-esteem and Christian faith. Chapter 3 presents biblical and theological perspectives in the following areas as to why Christians have high self-esteem: argument of Christians with low self-esteem, grounds of Christian self-esteem, the image of God, and the new way of living as Christians based on Ephesians 4: 22-24. //p// Based on literature review and theological integration, practical recommendations and research implications were suggested in chapter 4. Practical educational recommendations were suggested for youth pastors and teachers, Christian parents, and Christian youths. Future researchers were recommended to use multiple dimensions of religiosity instruments such as the Faith Maturity Scale (FMS) or the Spiritual Maturity Index (SMI), to include biblical/theological perspective in their future study, and to use longitudinal study in examining the relationship between self-esteem and faith maturity among adolescents.

Book Synopsis The Influences of Self-esteem and Religiosity on Immigrant Adolescents by : Myeong Shin Nam
Download or read book The Influences of Self-esteem and Religiosity on Immigrant Adolescents written by Myeong Shin Nam and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Self-esteem is known to have positive associations with people's mental health and problem behaviors of adolescents. Religiosity is also often reported to have positive influence on mental health and behaviors of adolescents. If so, self-esteem and religiosity could be expected to have positive influences on immigrant adolescents who struggle with additional issues brought up by the acculturation process. Thus, this study reviewed the literature to examine what influences self-esteem and religiosity have on immigrant adolescents and in what ways. /p/ Two demographic factors turned out to have significant associations with self-esteem during adolescence. Boys tended to show higher scores in self-esteem than girls did. African American adolescents and Latinos displayed higher self-esteem, while Asian Americans marked the lowest level of self-esteem. Other factors included body satisfaction, problem behaviors, parent-child relations, social support, depression, and academic achievement. /p/ Religiosity was related to less involvement in risk behaviors, substance use, and mental problems. However, it was not significantly related to sexual activity factors. It is also noteworthy that while religiosity was related to mental health, the relationship between religiosity and self-esteem was different by the factors of religiosity. Although it was not causal, frequency of church service attendance and involvement in youth activities were positively associated with self-esteem. However, it was hard to see a relationship between the importance of religion factor and self-esteem. /p/ Immigrant adolescents often experienced hard times due to discrimination, peer relationships, pressure from academic achievement, and conflict with their parents. The influence of religiosity was found in two aspects. Religious involvement has direct and indirect influences on the lives of adolescents. Being a member of the religious community and faith in God provided behavioral guidance for immigrant adolescents, and being a Christian affected developing their self-identity and purpose of life. Besides, the local ethnic church provided social support for immigrant adolescents who relatively received lack of social support from their parents compared to non-immigrant adolescents. /p/ To help immigrant adolescents develop healthy self-esteem and so live a better life, a few ministry practices are recommended for the ethnic church and its youth workers and parents of immigrant adolescents.
Book Synopsis From Here to Maturity by : Thomas E. Bergler
Download or read book From Here to Maturity written by Thomas E. Bergler and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2014-11-27 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expert guidance on how to grow up in Christ This book is a follow-up to Thomas Bergler’s acclaimed work The Juvenilization of American Christianity, which documents how church youth ministries over the past several decades have contributed to a process of adolescent spiritual traits becoming accepted and even celebrated by Christians of all ages. This “juvenilization” in the church is a real problem that must be addressed, says Bergler, and in his new book he addresses it head-on. Bergler’s From Here to Maturity is an accessible guide for helping both individuals and whole faith communities to grow spiritually. Bergler claims that spiritual maturity -- defined as “basic competence in the Christian life” -- is both desirable and attainable, and he effectively presents a biblical theology of spiritual maturity, identifying its traits from pertinent New Testament passages. Adapting Dallas Willard’s model of spiritual formation and applying it to congregational life, Bergler offers a wealth of practical, research-based guidance as to how Christian leaders can effectively foster spiritual maturity in their congregations. He also identifies six key faith-sustaining factors and provides a system for evaluating a church’s state of spiritual maturity and steps for improving it. Ecumenically friendly, From Here to Maturity will be useful to individuals and leaders from many different churches and theological traditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In innumerable discussions and activities dedicated to better understanding and helping teenagers, one aspect of teenage life is curiously overlooked. Very few such efforts pay serious attention to the role of religion and spirituality in the lives of American adolescents. But many teenagers are very involved in religion. Surveys reveal that 35% attend religious services weekly and another 15% attend at least monthly. 60% say that religious faith is important in their lives. 40% report that they pray daily. 25% say that they have been "born again." Teenagers feel good about the congregations they belong to. Some say that faith provides them with guidance and resources for knowing how to live well. What is going on in the religious and spiritual lives of American teenagers? What do they actually believe? What religious practices do they engage in? Do they expect to remain loyal to the faith of their parents? Or are they abandoning traditional religious institutions in search of a new, more authentic "spirituality"? This book attempts to answer these and related questions as definitively as possible. It reports the findings of The National Study of Youth and Religion, the largest and most detailed such study ever undertaken. The NYSR conducted a nationwide telephone survey of teens and significant caregivers, as well as nearly 300 in-depth face-to-face interviews with a sample of the population that was surveyed. The results show that religion and spirituality are indeed very significant in the lives of many American teenagers. Among many other discoveries, they find that teenagers are far more influenced by the religious beliefs and practices of their parents and caregivers than commonly thought. They refute the conventional wisdom that teens are "spiritual but not religious." And they confirm that greater religiosity is significantly associated with more positive adolescent life outcomes. This eagerly-awaited volume not only provides an unprecedented understanding of adolescent religion and spirituality but, because teenagers serve as bellwethers for possible future trends, it affords an important and distinctive window through which to observe and assess the current state and future direction of American religion as a whole.

Download or read book The Juvenilization of American Christianity written by Thomas Bergler and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2012-04-20 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pop worship music. Falling in love with Jesus. Mission trips. Wearing jeans and T-shirts to church. Spiritual searching and church hopping. Faith-based political activism. Seeker-sensitive outreach. These now-commonplace elements of American church life all began as innovative ways to reach young people, yet they have gradually become accepted as important parts of a spiritual ideal for all ages. What on earth has happened? In The Juvenilization of American Christianity Thomas Bergler traces the way in which, over seventy-five years, youth ministries have breathed new vitality into four major American church traditions -- African American, Evangelical, Mainline Protestant, and Roman Catholic. Bergler shows too how this "juvenilization" of churches has led to widespread spiritual immaturity, consumerism, and self-centeredness, popularizing a feel-good faith with neither intergenerational community nor theological literacy. Bergler s critique further offers constructive suggestions for taming juvenilization. Watch the trailer:
