You CAN Tell The Children

Our guest, Elizabeth Urbanowicz, is the founder of Foundation Worldview – a comparative worldview curriculum for kids and teens. Elizabeth points us back to the very beginning of God’s Word where we learn that we are all created to be His image bearers. With this in the forefront of our minds, she suggests wise ways we can teach kids to handle conversations where they don’t see eye-to-eye.

Are you ready to learn how to teach your kids to disagree and still be friends? 

ELIZABETH URBANOWICZ is a follower of Jesus who is passionate about equipping kids to understand the truth of the biblical worldview. Elizabeth spent the first decade of her professional career teaching elementary students at a Christian school. After completing her M.A. in Christian Apologetics at Biola University, Elizabeth started Foundation Worldview, an organization that helps Christian adults equip children to carefully evaluate every idea and understand the truth of the biblical worldview.

Do the kids in your life have a clear view of the world as God sees it, or do they need some gentle coaching to be shaped and molded into God’s truth? This is where our conversation turns to sunglasses…

Kori & Lee talk about three different types of sunglass lenses, and why it’s so important for children to see the world through God’s holy lens, brought into focus by the Bible! We want it to be second nature for our kids to process life through a Biblical worldview because this will guide them to truth which in turn guides them to hope — and we know that Jesus is the hope of the world!  We aren’t always going to be there to guide them, so we want to be sure they have on their Biblical worldview sunglasses…
