Training Them Wisely - discipling kids
Join Rene Christensen, author of Training Them Wisely - discipling kids, as she talks to moms, dads, and people in ministry about how to disciple kids. Kids are not being exposed to a biblical worldview through school, friends, YouTube, social media, etc. Biblical literacy is critical. We as parents and as a church must help this next generation stand strong in a world that is increasingly hostile to Christianity. Let’s talk about how to go about parenting in a godly way.

Let's talk about spending time each day with God. Why do we do this? What do we do each day?
When we were coming up with a title for this episode, I kept hearing the phrase walking with Jesus. Really that's what time with Him is. We are spending time with Him. It is so important to spend that time with Him and develop a relationship with Him.
Adam and Eve walked with God in the cool of the evening. He wants a relationship with ea...
Why should we have goals? What should our goals look like? How should our goals look different than the worlds?
Let's use Scripture to dive in and answer these questions as we set our goals for the new year.
