License to Parent with Trace Embry

Many Americans today, however, view right and wrong more subjectively rather than absolute. Feelings and opinions, therefore, dictate each individual's desire to live as he or she sees fit. The Bible is now considered an archaic book of myths in the eyes of many Americans. Unfortunately, too many of those Americans are our very own children. How to help defend our kids against a Cultural Jihad? That's next on today's edition of License to Parent with Todd Starnes.

Todd Starnes is the author of Culture Jihad: How to stop the left from killing a Nation. Starnes was on Fox News and the Fox News Channel for more than a decade. He is now hosting the Todd Starnes News and Commentary which is airing on over 750 radio stations across the country. Beginning in November the Todd Starnes show will kick-off featuring a 3-hour call-in radio show featuring news anchors, entertainers, artists, and Christian leaders.

Is it possible that being ill-informed with a warped, or gross lack of historical knowledge could actually be affecting our kids' perspectives, attitudes; and somehow, even their behaviors, today? If so, could this same lack or slanted view of history also be driving a wedge of distrust and disrespect, not only between parents and their children but between their children and their God? That's today's discussion with Brian Kilmeade on License to Parent.

Not many broadcasters can say they are on the air for 6 hours a day, 5 days a week, but that is exactly what Brian Kilmeade has been doing since 2006. After joining Fox News in 1997, he was soon named co-host of Fox & Friends, where he still thrives today. During his tenure at Fox News, he has developed the ability to interview and provide insight into newsmakers, politicians, celebrities, and athletes.

Brian has written 5 books, 4 New York Times bestsellers including "Andrew Jackson and the Miracle of New Orleans" co-written with Don Yaeger. Number 6 is in the works and will be announced this fall and released in 2019. He currently resides with his wife and 3 kids where he grew up in Massapequa, NY. When he is not working you can often catch him on the soccer field watching or coaching.

I want my kids to have access to the constructive things that the internet has to offer. I just want that access to have some wise and godly boundaries put into place. I want to use digital technology as a tool to engage with my kids. I hear a lot of well-meaning people say, "You have to trust your kids; just love them, train them, and shape their hearts. They'll eventually do the right thing." And that's all true but there's a caveat when it comes to the unencumbered use of smartphones. Remember, we're talking about kids here, not mature adults. Even a kid as old as 15 is still 10 years removed from having his frontal lobe fully-developed. That's the action/consequence part of the brain. Even a kid with a heart of gold can succumb to some pretty crazy stuff when regularly enticed.

Today we hear from Kirk Cameron. Kirk and his wife Chelsea are the founders of Camp Firefly, a camp for seriously ill children and their families. Together, they live in California with their six children. Kirk is also the creator of the recent documentary (now available on Netflix, Amazon Prime and more) called Connect.
