Together, we explore the long-term dangers of raising moralistic children who eventually walk away from Jesus and the steps we can take today to make sure we avoid that outcome.

However, you can conquer this fear and avoid its damage. In this episode, we unpack one question we parents must answer. And our answer will determine which long-term effect this pandemic will have on our children: will the presence of COVID 19 become a means to grow our children's faith?

The voice of secular culture is telling our children that science is a better determiner of truth than the Bible. Science is presented as hard facts, and God's Word is treated as opinion at best, and pure fantasy at worst. Our children are often left feeling like they either have to reject Science in order to believe the Bible, or turn their back on God's Word in order to believe Science. Join us in this episode as we uncover how to define the real source of authority for our kids, and how to reconcile a narrative that pushed them to reject God's Word in order to accept Science.

But, what if all the news about children this age isn't bad? What if this season of life was one of the most fertile, strategic, and exciting times to be building into your child's faith? What if those Jr. High years could be some of the best in the years you have to shape your child's worldview? In this episode, veteran Jr. High ministers Levi and Jamie Molkentin join us and help us discover the beauty in this season of our children's lives and the ways we can best invest in them as they grow in their relationship with Jesus.
