Today on the podcast I am sharing a few things to remember when it comes to living in a world where you can access the news 24/7.

And even if you think you don't have any 'idols' I still encourage you to listen in!

Can we raise our children to not walk away from Jesus? Can we do it without sheltering them from the world outside? There are some of the questions we dig into today on the podcast. In this episode, I am joined by Elizabeth Urbanowicz from Foundation Worldview to discuss how we teach our children the truth from the Word of God to be their foundation for their lives. Even from a young age, kids are exposed to so many confusing lies and we as parents are called to expose the darkness and be light. I pray this conversation is a helpful tool to navigate the tension of raising Godly kids in a fallen world.
