All these, and more, can trigger anxiety in our kids. We’ll explore the ways parents engage with their kids when they are anxious … in both constructive and destructive ways. Our kids are looking to us and modeling us, so parents must lead the way, calm our own hearts, and have the fruit of the spirit attitude towards our kids.

In this episode, Larry explains that what is missing in most peoples’ lives is the reality of God’s Pursuit of them, how much He Loves them, that God has another side of His Loving Nature that is portrayed in Scriptures as a God of Justice. Some people Believe what they have been taught, but they never question what they have been taught. Some answers to our questions need verification by asking to prove the evidence of our argument.  What Scriptures support our Beliefs?  These are questions we should be asking in order to gain Understanding about our world and about our God.

More and more people everywhere are accepting homosexuality. Today, more than half of Christians agree with same sex marriage. Why? Why is this such a big issue for the church? History shows that homosexuality has not been good for any culture. Why should the church be concerned? Because of moral rot in society. There will come a tipping point in our culture, but the voices sounding the alarm now will not be around when that tipping point occurs. The church needs to be the moral voice in society. If there is no moral voice in society, then everything becomes more evil. Why is the church accepting this? It begins in the pulpit. Pastors are afraid to preach the truth, and there is no conviction. That’s the problem. We can dance around the issue of homosexuality, but the Bible is crystal clear that it's wrong. Those who preach the truth are becoming fewer and fewer. Pastor Walt thinks out loud on the issue of homosexuality and the church.

Walt McFadden, Pastor of CityView Church, is a no-nonsense kind of guy who takes no prisoners when it comes to the Truth. Pastor Walt likes to ‘Think Out Loud’ about the Bible and how it can impact a community through the proper application of Spiritual Principles. You will find an honest response to some of the most difficult questions facing us today.
