| 18 Jan 2022 | How to Have Hard Conversations with Kids, with Columbine Survivor Crystal Woodman Miller (Episode 27) | 00:29:27 | |
How to Have Hard Conversations with Kids, with Columbine Survivor Crystal Woodman Miller (Episode 27) In this powerful episode, Crystal Woodman Miller describes her experience as a survivor of the Columbine school shooting when she was 16 years old. Crystal was in the library at the time of the shooting — the room where most of the violence occurred. She explains how she relied on God that day and the desperate prayers she prayed with her friends. She truly believes that prayer should be our first defense! In the years that followed, the grief was suffocating, but Jesus kept her anchored. Today, Crystal categorizes herself as a “recovering fear addict” which is a daily reminder of how desperately she needs God. Crystal is now a mother, a speaker, an author, and an advocate for having difficult conversations with our kids. She believes that our job as parents is that we can frame these conversations so that our kids feel safe and that we can speak through the lens of Scripture and provide hope. Ready to be inspired by someone who has gone through immense tragedy and learn ways to approach difficult topics with your kids? Let’s go… CRYSTAL WOODMAN MILLER is a young woman whose life was forever changed by the tragic events at Columbine High School in 1999—seven eternal minutes that served as the ultimate wake-up call. And in the aftermath of tragedy, Crystal found herself at a crossroad of fear and faith. The reason Crystal has chosen to speak and share her story is and always has been to share a message of Hope. The common thread woven throughout the fabric of humanity is our shared experience in suffering and hardship. Regardless of race, religion, gender, or geographic location, no one is immune to the difficulties of this life. Therefore, Crystal shares candidly of her own journey of hardship, faith and hope so that it may encourage others in the challenges they face. Crystal also speaks in effort to prevent school violence and to help those who, unfortunately have already been impacted by it.

In April of 2010, Janae and Rodney Hostetter received devastating news. At only 12 weeks pregnant, they learned their baby girl had a severe birth defect called Anencephaly.

| 21 Nov 2023 | 118. Generosity Starts At Home | 00:25:15 | |
Growing up on a dairy farm, Steve Herr learned early in life how to work hard, efficiently, and reap a harvest. You’ll hear how he was raised to prioritize family, neighbors and live a lifestyle of generosity. Steve shares the intentional ways his family has loved on others, beginning with strong Biblical values in their home.
Ready to hear Steve’s advice for actively living out generosity? Let’s go!
STEVE HERR, Bible2School bus driver and volunteer, came into this world with two amazing privileges — an American citizen and Christian God-fearing parents. It took time to learn to appreciate these but he has come to understand the meaning of both. He believes that Jesus Christ died for his sins and the American soldier died for his freedom. When Steve was about 11 years old he professed Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. In so doing he has been spared a lot of heartache in this present life and has grown in his spiritual walk through the years and looks forward to eternal life with his creator God.

If we want the next generation to be God followers, standing firm on His Word without apology, we need to be intentionally teaching the kids in our lives how to do this. Our guest, Ken Ham, is the founder of Answers in Genesis, which is an apologetics organization founded on the words from 1 Peter 3:15 which tell us to be ready to give an answer for what we believe. You may know Ken from his famous debates with Bill Nye the Science guy, or possibly you’ve visited one of his two parks, the Creation Museum & Ark Encounter. Regardless of whether or not you’ve heard of Ken, you’re in for a treat as he speaks to the difference between teaching children HOW to think instead of WHAT to think, and the importance of starting our thinking from God’s Word, not man’s.

KEN HAM is the founder and CEO of Answers in Genesis and its two popular attractions: the acclaimed Creation Museum and the internationally known Ark Encounter, which features a life-size 510-foot-long Noah’s Ark—sometimes described as the “8th Wonder of the Modern World.” Each year, the two attractions host over 1.5 million guests. A much-in-demand Christian speaker and interview guest, Ham became well known throughout America for his 2014 evolution/creation debate with Bill Nye, TV’s “The Science Guy.” Ham hosts the daily radio program Answers, now on 1,000 stations. He’s also the founder of the award-winning Answers magazine. In 2020, Ham launched Answers TV, an ambitious streaming service. His website of AnswersInGenesis.org has twice won the top award from the National Religious Broadcasters for best website. A prolific blogger and author of more than 30 books, Ham’s newest releases are Divided Nation (about today’s culture wars) and the devotional commentary Creation to Babel.

Bible2School is on a mission to redefine how America thinks about religion during the public school day. ‘Separation of church and state’ does not mean our children need to leave their faith at the front door of the school. In this previous episode, we heard from Sr. Counsel Matt Sharp from Alliance Defending Freedom, who discussed some of the rights students have to express their faith in public school. Now, this conversation zeros in on 5 specific ways we can encourage our kids to express their faith with others while in school! As we learn to teach our kids how to openly express their faith with others, they’ll start growing into leaders who make a lasting impact for God’s kingdom on earth! There’s nothing more inspirational than hearing stories of bold faith in action, especially in the lives of children. Are you ready to hear 5 ways kids can express their faith with others during their school day? Let’s go!
MATT SHARP serves as senior counsel with Alliance Defending Freedom, where he is the director of the Center for Legislative Advocacy and focuses on state and local legislative matters. Since joining ADF in 2010, Sharp has authored federal and state legislation, regularly provides testimony and legal analysis on how proposed legislation will impact constitutional freedoms, and advises governors, legislators, and state and national policy organizations on the importance of laws and policies that protect First Amendment rights. He has testified before the United States Congress on the importance of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. Sharp has also worked on important cases advancing religious freedom and free speech. He has won cases upholding the rights of students to form religious clubs, invite classmates to church, and even perform a religious song at a school talent show. He authored an amicus brief to the U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of nearly 9,000 students, parents, and community members asking the Court to uphold students’ right to privacy against government intrusion. Sharp earned his J.D. in 2006 from the Vanderbilt University School of Law. A member of the bar in Georgia and Tennessee, he is also admitted to practice in several federal courts.

Did you know that the FIRST thing God says to the Israelites after giving them the ten commandments is to teach them to their children? Yep! In Deuteronomy 6, God commands us to impress His word on our children ALL.THE.TIME. But how?! Thankfully it doesn’t have to be a sermon - it can be simple!

Ready to hear some awesome Bible2School Godstories? You’ll fall in love with Tim & Esther’s heart for this ministry that they call the “God-given answer for reaching hearts and lives of young people'!' Our guests remind us we can be excited to watch what God is going to do in the lives of the children we pray for. As Esther said, “We keep praying in faith believing that God will bring our children, our grandchildren, and our great grandchildren into His family because we believe in Him and His power to do that.” Ready to hear about the power of prayer? Let’s go! ESTHER HERITAGE is a wife, mother of three married daughters, a fourth one already home with Jesus, grandmother of nine and great grandmother of two, and a retired oncology nurse. Serving beside her husband Tim and raising their daughters led them to fully rely on God through prayer. Praying for others and seeing God’s faithful answers has deeply affected Esther’s faith and love for Jesus. Loving to teach children about Him was another passion, so when she heard about the Bible2School program in the summer of 2012, God burdened her heart to volunteer for this ministry as a teacher. She saw the tremendous impact this program had on children and it wasn’t long until her husband and daughter joined her in this local mission field, making it a family ministry which they all have loved!

Did you know that only 1% of Gen Z has a Biblical worldview? So it came as no surprise that we recently discovered the #1 question Christian parents ask is, “How can I best protect my child from harmful cultural elements while still keeping them in the public school system?” Kori & Lee’s conversation shifts the paradigm from “how can we protect” to “how can we prepare” our children to stand firm in their faith and know the rights they have in their schools. We want our kids to graduate high school confident and ready for the world - and the best way to do that is to walk closely alongside them in truth right now. Ready to prepare your kids to stand firm in their faith at school no matter what culture is pushing? Let’s go!

Kori & Brenda chat about the difference between children who thrive and those who fall behind, and how we can create a safe place for them to make mistakes, working towards the goal of GROWTH not achievement. How do we lay down that desire to control all the outcomes? Brenda reminds us that God WILL reveal to us what is best for our children - we can TRUST the ONE who is in control!

| 27 Sep 2022 | Episode 60 - Teaching Kids To Think Like Christ, Not Culture w/Elizabeth Urbanowicz | 00:30:47 | |
Is truth true for everyone? Even though our guest today, Elizabeth Urbanowicz, was a teacher in a Christian elementary school, most of her students could not answer "yes" to this question. They had memorized the scripture that says "Jesus is the way the truth and the life", but they didn't have the foundation to defend this truth. Elizabeth’s ministry, “Foundation Worldview”, created materials that equip kids to carefully evaluate every idea they encounter so they can understand the truth, and discover for themselves that the Bible consistently lines up with what they find in the world around them! Ready to teach the children in your life how to be active evaluators of their culture? Let’s go! ELIZABETH URBANOWICZ (er-ban-o-wits) is a follower of Jesus Christ who is passionate about equipping kids to understand the truth of the Christian worldview. Elizabeth began her professional career as an elementary teacher in a Christian school. Several years into her teaching experience, Elizabeth realized that despite being raised in Christian homes, attending a Christian school, and being active in church, her students thought more like the culture than like Christ. Elizabeth began searching for curricular materials that would equip her students to think critically, helping them discover that Christianity is the worldview that lines up with reality. After not finding any materials that met this need, she began creating a curriculum for her students. Elizabeth first taught Foundation Comparative Worldview Curriculum as an after-school class for third through fifth graders, and the results were incredible! Students were transformed from passive recipients of information to active evaluators of every message they receive. Parents and teachers alike noticed the impact these materials had on students’ media consumption, academic achievement, and everyday habits. This transformation lasted beyond the elementary years and guided students’ thinking in junior high and beyond. Elizabeth now works full-time on developing comparative worldview and apologetics resources for children. Her goal is to prepare the next generation to be lifelong critical thinkers and, most importantly, lifelong disciples of Jesus Christ.

| 05 Nov 2024 | 166. Teaching Kids a Biblical Worldview | 00:25:26 | |
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…
Ready to hear the 3 types of protective lenses kids need in order to see clearly? Let’s go… KORI PENNYPACKER has served with Bible2School since 2011.

Did you know that 9.2% of the world, or 719 million people, live in extreme poverty? This means they’re living on less than $2.15 a day!

Lorie will share the powerful story behind Compassion’s development, its mission, and a glimpse into the life of a child living in poverty through the Compassion Journey.

Our guest today, Donna Nicholson Stief, is coming to us with a topic not often discussed - the topic of grief. Did you know that you CAN heal from all the many layers of grief? To quote Donna, “Grief is not a problem to be solved - it’s not something that needs fixed. It’s the natural, God-given response to love and loss. It’s a journey, and we need to understand that journey and learn how to navigate it.” Unprocessed grief swings the door wide open for Satan to get a foothold - but it doesn’t have to be that way. Donna will share her story of tragic loss and talk about why it’s so important to process and discuss it. You’ll be inspired by this conversation of love, loss, and deep joy. Ready to lean in to the advice Donna shares on stewarding grief with your children? Let’s go! DONNA NICHOLSON STIEF joined the LCBC church staff in May of 2019 as the Director of Stewardship.

Dana gives us some examples of popular ideas we may believe and takes them back to Scripture to verify whether or not that perception is truth or speculation. The best part about uncovering the truths in Scripture together is that we get to see how faithful our God is, and that He truly is the God of details. Ready to be a Scripture Sleuth with Dana & Kori? Let’s go! DANA SNEED is an education specialist at Answers in Genesis. She develops and writes curricula, including Answers Bible Curriculum and its homeschool edition, and teaches educational programs at the Creation Museum. She earned a Master of Divinity and a PhD in Education from Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary in Memphis, TN.

Dr. Georgia Purdom, Vice President of Educational Content at Answers In Genesis, helps us understand the difference between facts, theories, and ideas and gives us the tools to teach our children how to debunk 3 of the most popular myths of evolution! Georgia says if we want to combat evolution effectively with the truth of God’s Word and science we have to know what the evolutionists are saying, what the arguments are, and what children are being taught. The world will take every advantage it can to teach children contrary to God’s Word, so it’s our job to be intentionally teaching them truth. You’ll leave this conversation ready to debate like a gospel-believing biologist! Ready to combat the top 3 myths of evolution? Let’s go!
