This week on License to Parent… Trace Embry and Co-Host, Rich Roszel speak with guest Israel Wayne. Israel is a Homeschool Advocate, an Author and a Conference Speaker.  As we walk through life raising our kids, many questions will arise. We’ll have questions for our kids and, of course, they will have questions for us, but how well are we preparing our children to respond to the questions God may be asking? 

Our guest today, Israel Wayne is the author of the book “Questions God Asks.”  He says God asks us questions not because He needs the answers, but because he wants us to look within ourselves and grow as we consider the long-term and short-term questions. 

Some questions 21st century Christians may face are found in the pages of both the Old and New Testaments:

As parents, we can ask similar questions of our kids to help them better examine their own character and actions.

You can find Israel Wayne (and his books) online at www.FamilyRenewal.org.

This week on License to Parent with Trace Embry… Our guest is Eric Holmberg, the Founder and Director of Reel to Real Ministries, Inc. and The Apologetics Group.  Eric Holmberg is also an ordained minister, author, speaker and video documentarian who uses his creative use of multi-media and a vibrant Christian worldview to analyze some of the key issues of our time – including sexual idolatry and what the Bible describes as perversion.  This is part two of a two-part series with Eric Holmberg helping Christian parents on the topic of homosexuality.  Today we ask these questions on the topic of homosexuality:  Can, or should, a cogent argument be given without using Scripture? Can a five-year old really know if he’s homosexual?  Also, what do parents need to be doing to prepare their kids about the persecution for their Christian belief that homosexuality is wrong?
