By the questions I am asked I wonder how often parents actually read it. We e-mail it in pdf and also post it on the parent page of our web site. I also send a weekly e-mail to parents with some discussion questions and the text for the next Sunday's youth group gathering so they can do some family devo stuff during the week and then our weekend group builds on the parent's discipleship of their teen.

This allows parents to know what's being taught and creates conversation in homes. Our goal is that the big themes we talk about will be further unpacked and applied by families. I think a lot of parents just appreciate knowing where we're heading in our teaching.
