Listen Later

Dr. Sean McDowell is a gifted communicator with a passion for equipping the church, and in particular, young people to make the case for the Christian faith. Sean still teaches one high school Bible class, which helps give him exceptional insight into the prevailing culture so he can impart his observations poignantly to fellow educators, pastors, and parents alike. In 2008, he received the Educator of the Year award for San Juan Capistrano, California. The Association of Christian Schools International awarded Exemplary Status to his apologetics training. Sean is listed among the top 100 apologists. He earned a Ph.D. in Apologetics and Worldview Studies from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in 2014.

In April 2000, Sean married his high school sweetheart, Stephanie. They have three children and live in San Juan Capistrano, California. Sean played college basketball at Biola University and was the captain his senior year on a team that went 30-7.  

Listen today as Dr. Sean McDowell shares (among other topics) that if you want to pass on your faith to your kids, the effective way to do that and data shows, you have to: 
1. Model your faith to your kids. If you don’t model it, it doesn’t matter what you say.  
2. Build close, warm, intimate relationship with your kids. 
3. Engage them in spiritual, natural conversations, not lectures.  
Always look for ways to ask questions and engage them. Affirm that asking questions are great and welcome in the Christian fold.
