412teens.org is dedicated to encouraging teens and sharing pearls of biblical truth in a sea of spiritual sludge. We're an outreach of Got Questions Ministries. Our mission is to glorify God by providing biblical, applicable, compassionate, and timely answers to spiritually-related questions about topics of interest to young believers. We aim to encourage healthy physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health in every young Christian we encounter.
"Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity." —1 Timothy 4:12
The "412" stands for 1 Timothy 4:12. Just because you're young, that doesn't mean you have nothing to offer this world. Teens can be incredible witnesses to God's amazing grace, love, and compassion. We believe that teens have awesome insights and perspectives that can bring God's goodness and wonder into the world. RELATED: Why should I trust 412teens.org?
