At a time when over two thirds of children raised in Christian households are growing up, moving out, and leaving the faith, the need for solid theological education for families has never been more vital. However, all the training in the world is not going do a bit of good if it misses out on the heart of everything, that is the Gospel message. So we need to talk about how to create a Gospel-centered environment in your home. We need to talk about Gospel-centered families.    

Are you interested in how to train your children in the way they should go—how to walk with Jesus Christ? Do not miss this episode of the Think Podcast with Joel Settecase.  In this episode you’ll learn what a “Gospel-centered family is,” why it’s important, and how to make sure your family is Gospel-centered.
