Faith

The youth exodus is a very real concern for Christian parents, and it is a deeply personal concern for me. I launched CHRISTIAN PARENT/CRAZY WORLD three years ago with the goal of assuaging this falling away from the faith in our youth. But what does a parent do when they have a child who is questioning or has left the faith?  How do you parent the prodigal child? In the latest episode of CP/CW, I answer these questions with hard-earned, first-hand […]

As you know, studies show that a majority of kids raised in Christian homes are leaving the faith when they leave the nest. This is a deeply personal reality for many families, mine included. If you aren’t experiencing this painful place in your parenting, you know someone who is. And you are probably close to some kids who are struggling in their faith.  It is so […]

There is no formula for raising a child to be a lifelong follower of Christ. There is no 5 or 10 or even 20-step program to raising godly kids. As parents, we have a vital part to play in our child’s spiritual journey as we commit to parenting biblically, but we cannot choose the faith for our […]

Raising kids to stand strong in the faith while living in a godless culture is the greatest challenge we face as Christian parents today. It is our job as godly parents to be very intentional about the spiritual formation of our children. That preparation is the rich soil from which the seeds of truth can flourish. […]

As parents, we have a central role to play in passing on faith and freedom to our kids, to the next generation. The spiritual soil of our children’s lives is nurtured first and foremost by us through modeling the biblical life, through education and prayer, and through the stories we pass on to our kids about the faith.

The crisis of leadership in our country is palpable right now, and Christian parents feel that challenge in big ways and small. We don’t have a pure choice at the ballot box, particularly on the national stage. Many Christians have a crisis of conscious when choosing a presidential leader.  How should we respond? That’s what we talk about in latest episode of CHRISTIAN PARENT/CRAZY WORLD as I continue my conversation with world-renowned author, […]

There’s a lot we don’t understand about freedom in this country… and I include myself in that bunch. Lasting freedom, in any quantifiable sense, is very new to the historical landscape. After all, we fought a bloody revolution to acquire it just a few centuries ago. I am honored and thrilled to be joined by one of the greatest intellectual […]

Something in the human soul cries out for equality. Doesn’t it? It is certainly a virtue that our culture lauds and espouses. But one has to wonder: My  special guest in episode 92 of CHRISTIAN PARENT/CRAZY WORLD is an expert in the fields of philosophy, theology, and apologetics. Dr. Douglas Groothuis has devoted an entire chapter of his recent book Fire in the Streets: How You Can Confidently […]

Cancel culture is nothing new. We see it all throughout Scripture. The enemy loves to cancel people. He tried to cancel Jesus, but it didn’t work. Satan never stops trying to silence the truth.  In the episode 91 of CHRISTIAN PARENT/CRAZY WORLD, I investigate the shocking roots of the new political movement that has codified cancel culture in our society. Where does cancel culture come from?  My special guest in this episode of CP/CW has written a brilliant response to the radical ideology at the heart of cancel culture, an ideology that has set […]

I LOVE a good redemption story… the kind of story that answers questions like: Is it possible for a marriage to fully recover from infidelity?   Can the emotional wounds of an affair ever be a thing of the past?  Can trust be rebuilt after betrayal?  My special guests in the latest episode of  CHRISTIAN PARENT/CRAZY WORLD answer […]
