Ep 14: Equip Your Kids

Video
Men’s Alliance

Our kids are a lot smarter than most churches think.  And we should teach them the deep answers to tough questions.  Set them up to know what they believe and why.  Demand more from your youth group than just games and pizza.  If you want your kid to have a foundation that cannot be shaken by their atheists college professors than give them the apologetics they crave now.  Trust me, they can handle it.  Recommended Books: I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be An Atheist - Frank Turek Cold Case Christianity - J.
