Today we are sharing a talk given at LPU for their new student (and parent) orientation weekend by Pastor Jen Lord. Jen Lord is the lead pastor of Restoration Church in Valencia, CA. She has been married to her high school sweetheart, Craig, for 27 years and they have two beautiful daughters, Meagan, 22 and Kelsey 20. Jen's passion is to see people restored to God's love and truth and to give them tools to live that out in their identity on mission. Because of her roles as both a mom and a pastor, Jen chose her capstone research project, while earning her Masters In Strategic Leadership, to focus on understanding Gen Z as emerging adults and discovering effective ways parents can continue to parent and disciple them effectively. Jen is committed to following the Spirit's leading and discipling this next generation of God's people! Jen shares tools to help parents walk out this season, even if your child is not attending college this episode is worth the listen.
