The Freedom Permit: Creating A Vision of Discipleship For Your Senior’s Last Year in High School

Each year, students graduate from high school and struggle in the transition to college. The reasons for this are vast but the solution is to better prepare college-bound students for the challenge. In this book, Tommy McGregor, founder of TheTransMission, offers parents of high school seniors a model to follow as those parents spend this last year of high school preparing their child to live independently in college. The Freedom Permit is a concept that helps give parents a vision for how to lead this charge of equipping their student for life after high school. The first batch of freedom a teenager experiences is getting his driver’s license, yet before he can gain that freedom, he is issued a driver’s permit. This is a training period where the teen learns how to drive, with the parents in the passenger seat. Once that child gets to be a senior in high school, he is facing his next great freedom opportunity: college. The Freedom Permit challenges parents to view this last year at home as a training season for the freedoms ahead. It lays out this plan in four categories: Spiritual Development, Life Management, Social Behaviors, and Goal Setting. With this resource, parents of seniors will have a casted vision in front of them where they will just need to fill in the blanks and start the year-long process of discipleship.
