Music is powerful — it shapes beliefs, emotions, and even identity. But in today's culture, much of what fills the airwaves opposes God's truth.

You'll discover:

• The spiritual impact of lyrics, rhythm, and repetition on a child's heart

• How secular music subtly normalizes sin and distorts truth

• How to replace negative influences with faith-filled, uplifting alternatives

• Ways to have honest, grace-filled conversations with your kids about what they listen to

• How to model discernment and help your family love music that honors God

You don't have to ban every song — but you do have to build discernment. Learn how to guide your children to fill their hearts and playlists with sounds that strengthen their faith, not weaken it.
