Style Six Wise or Foolish....What is My Entertainment Style Daughter's Study

By Nancy Butkowski

In this style, through a 4-week study, you will be looking at your entertainment choices and how they can influence the who you are becoming.

Week 1 will talk about how media is filled with many attention getters that are influencing you toward apathy, isolation, irresponsibility, and selfishness. You will be challenged to consider the power you have to choose what goes into your mind and what you dwell on. You will learn that Philippians 4:8 provides ways to evaluate the message.
Week 2, Janaye’s (one of the authors) story sums up what you will learn when she wrote, “Girls, let me encourage you to choose to do only those things that line up with your values...things that will build you up, and make you a better person rather than those things that can tear you down. And remember that even your entertainment choices represent who you are to the world. Will you be the girl who experiments with the things of the world to gain acceptance, praise, and popularity? Or will you be the girl who will stand by her values and refuse to compromise, even in her entertainment choices. Choose wisely! Make your choices considering your future and your reputation!”
Week 3 you will focus on the choices you are making in regards to your media entertainment. Because your heart belongs to God, you will want to make sure that you are feeding your mind and spirit those things that will help you draw closer to Him and grow in Christian character. A great result of your strong relationship with God and strength of character is that you will have a positive influence in the lives of others. You have the power to choose what goes in your mind and what you will dwell on. God wants to be the number one influence in your life.

Week 4 suggests a date for mother and daughter to celebrate your relationship, share what you have learned and pray for one another. An action point to apply what was learned is identified.

This is the sixth style of nine styles that will help you grow into the woman God designed you to be. Each style looks at a different area of your life, such as beauty, fashion, and friendships. You will learn life skills and values through studying these styles that will build character into your life and equip you to make a difference in your world.

Nancy Butkowski

Nancy and her husband, Dan, have served as missionaries with CRU since 1974. Together they raised 5 daughters who are now married with families of their home (14 grandchildren). She home schooled for 14 years during which time her focus was to help her daughters develop Godly character and ground them foundationally according to Biblical truths. When they got older, the children attended public school.For 14 years, Nancy gave leadership to the Student Venture Club at the schools her daughters attended, helping them and many of their friends grow in their relationship with Christ. As a result of those years of ministering together, she and her daughters developed content for mothers and daughters called Live In Style which they used in putting on live events in many cities. That content is the basis of the books she is developing into a Mother-Daughter series, to assist mothers in having conversations with their daughters concerning many of the issues her daughters and their friends struggled with.Working closely with teenagers, Nancy has come to understand that much of life catches them by surprise, especially as they enter the teen years. She desires to be proactive in introducing pre-teens/teenagers to some of the real issues they are about to face, and help them understand the importance of making godly choices as it relates to shaping their future.
