How to Be Part of America's Comeback With Kirk Cameron (Podcast 562) Oct 11, 2024

Show notes

As our country wrestles with darkness, fear, and division, is it possible that the overwhelming sense of hopelessness many of us feel is misplaced? Could it be that the belief that America’s cultural and spiritual decline is inevitable is a misplaced fear?

Ways to Move Toward Changing Our Country for the Better with Heidi St. John (Podcast 561) Oct 07, 2024

Show notes

We are called to be the salt of the earth. The primary value of salt is not as a flavoring but as a preservative. As Jesus' disciples, we are to hinder the world’s corruption.
Today Heidi St. John joins me for a conversation about the future of our nation and how we can be salt and light right here and right now. Here are some questions we discuss: What are the top challenges we face as believers in our culture today?

How do you think we got to this place?

What do you think scares Christians about politics and becoming overly involved?

As homeschooling moms, how can we change the trajectory of our country?

How do we talk to our kids about politics without scaring them or making them (or us) anxious?

What words of encouragement would you leave with the moms listening today regarding the elections and the future?

Teaching God's Good Design to Our Little Ones (Podcast 556) Sep 20, 2024

Show notes

With the effects of a sinful culture bearing down, conversations we could put off before now need to happen at earlier ages. The question is how do we combat the culture’s lies without taking away the innocence of our children? Today Elizabeth Urbanowicz from Foundation Worldview is here to give us some ideas of what that might look like to teach our little ones about God's good design for them!

We will cover questions like:

Most Christian resources about gender and sexuality focus on teens. However, you recommend parents start talking about these issues with children as young as the age of four. Can you explain why you recommend starting at such a young age and how you would advise parents to approach such conversations?
Many parents will try to shelter their kids from these issues. Is that the best approach? Why or why not?
How does your curriculum help parents and caregivers tackle this topic with their children?
Walk us through a lesson. What is the format? And how will children be learning?
