The Christian Perspective of College Yet many of these prestigious universities such as Harvard, Yale, and others actually began as Christian theological institutions. As Christian parents then, how should we be preparing our kids to deal with an academic environment that might actually be hostile to their faith? How can we better prepare our kids to stand their ground amidst this growing hostilit...

Forsaking The Ideals of Socialism & Globalism Our country is the country people from other countries are trying to get to; both legally and illegally. If it is such a terrible place then why are they trying to do this? Today we look at how the church can recognize manipulation by those who would want us to hate America and those who wish for us to accept the narrative of a historically failed form...

The Impact of Screens on Our Children & Teens We’ve seen that screens often become something like our children’s “other parents” but has it become even worse than that? Could these smart devices have become our children’s god? What does the Bible say about this topic and how to instill biblically, safe, and healthy wisdom into our kids? Discussing Digital Addiction with Kathy Koch Dr. Kathy Koch i...

Guiding Our Children through the Unknown It’s challenging for us as adults, but it’s challenging for our kids too. But it’s challenging to them in different ways. Normally our kids would look to us for guidance on how to get through life’s challenges. We’re usually pretty good at helping them because, more often than not, we’ve already been through the challenges ourselves and can show them how we...

Grace and Compassion Last week we began a conversation with Kendra about this new film that addresses the conflicts between the LGBTQ+ community and the teaching of the Bible; yet with compassion and grace. Continuing the Conversation with In His Image Director, Kendra White There is so much to uncover that we simply didn’t have enough time to squeeze it all in in one episode. If you missed our fi...

In His Image So what are our kids supposed to think? What are we adults supposed to think when educated individuals are promoting their ideas as scientific fact? In light of God and his human creation, what does it really mean to be created “in His image?” Can we be proud and practicing LGBTQ+ proponents with God’s blessing? Interview with In His Image Director, Kendra White Kendra White is Direct...

Gender, Sexuality, Sin, and the Church At the same time, accepting sinners cannot be the same thing as affirming sin. The church is to call every kind of sinner to repent. So how is the church to relate to those of the LGBT community? How are we to reach out with the gospel without being judgmental? Could it be that honest and patient relationships focused on gentle and kind conversations can help...

In America today, pornography, at least as it has been traditionally defined, is everywhere. It’s not just a stack of naughty magazines sold from behind the drugstore counter anymore. Milder forms of it can be seen on billboards along the highway. Stronger forms are out in the open now too; right next to the candy rack at the local convenience store or gas station. That means that it’s not only in...

When we think of addiction we often think of young adults strung out on some kind of drug lying in an alley or a gutter in some city in America. Terms like “stoner” come to mind; someone with long greasy hair, disheveled, seeking that next fix. Drug addiction doesn’t always look like that. Drug addiction is only one addiction that our common enemy, the devil, uses to diminish our kids and our enti...

When we think about raising our kids, teaching them civics is not the first thing we often think about. Unless of course, we’re talking about the civics class they may or may not be taking in school. If they are teaching civics in your child’s school, the question we should be asking is “by what standard is it being taught?” Love of country, our neighbors, and posterity has always been the great m...

There is only one real God we can put our faith in. But God gave us free will. We are not his puppets. We can choose to accept him. This idea of faith and the idea that bad things happen in this world led to God sending you. So how are you leading your life? It’s time to put away the cellphone, text messaging, and video game. It’s time to get a real-life full of purpose and meaning. Walk away empo...

When we think of our kids being well-groomed, we think of issues tending to physical hygiene and dress; some things at least parents have some control over. Or to help our kids gain control over. There is grooming going on with our kids today that many of them, or their parents, are not even aware of. It’s the grooming that builds appetites in our kids; violent and sexual appetites built by the co...
