How can you help make sure your kids keep their faith in God?

The following statistics are eye-opening and sobering.

According to Barna, nearly 59 percent of youth leave the church after they graduate high school, and only 17 percent maintain a biblical worldview.

Common reasons for leaving the church include moving to college, judgmental and/or hypocritical church members, and no longer feeling connected to the people in their church.

It’s crucial to equip your children to defend their faith. The “why” is just as important as the “what.” They need to know why they believe what they believe.

Be faithful to “train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.”
