From the reality of God to navigating conversations about sex and deciphering the Bible's authenticity, Lori and Lee Ann provide practical advice, valuable insights, and rich resources to help parents nurture a solid Christian foundation in their children. Episode Highlights: Handling Kids’ Doubts About God's Existence: Your child comes home questioning, “Is God real?” Lori and Lee Ann offer invaluable advice in addressing this with both younger and older children. They discuss how to explain the nature of God—His spiritual essence, the historical reality of Jesus, and using examples like the wind and gravity to convey the evidence of God’s presence. Teaching the Importance of Sexual Purity: What do you say when your teenager asserts, “Sex between two people who love each other is okay”? Lori and Lee Ann address this hot-button issue by discussing God’s design for relationships, the spiritual significance of sex within marriage, and the importance of grace and redemption. They reflect on lessons from the purity movement and how to convey God’s high view of marriage without alienating your kids. Combating Perceptions of the Bible as a Fairy Tale: How do you react if your child labels the Bible a fairy tale? Both ladies tackle this question by emphasizing the importance of apologetics, historical validity, and the unique nature of the Bible. They point to resources such as Answers in Genesis and the work of historians. They explore ways to engage your child in meaningful dialogue, reinforcing the Bible’s authenticity and relevance. Key Takeaways: Engage in open, honest conversations with your children. Ask questions to understand their doubts and guide them thoughtfully. Equip yourself and your kids with resources to defend and deepen your faith. Books like Raising Kids to Follow Christ by Lee Ann Mancini offer practical applications for everyday parenting.
