Top Stress Reliever: Music

1161658_guitaristHow do students relieve stress? According to MTV’s global teen study, most start by turning up the tunes.

How youth around the world deal with stress:

  1. Listen to music
  2. Watch TV
  3. Talk with friends (not face to face)
  4. Sleep
  5. Prayer

All in all, 65% of students listen to music to relax. A good majority of them only have secular bands to turn to.

If you’re serious about getting your students into solid Christian music, don’t just “suggest” it. Teach the value of surrounding yourself with Truth, especially in the music you listen to.

The Lord uses music to minister to us. Make sure you are teaching your students to evaluate what worldviews they are allowing themselves to be ministered to by when they’re kicking back to relax.
