Training Them Wisely - discipling kids

English, Children-Kids, 1 season, 44 episodes, 21 hours, 7 minutes
About
Join Rene Christensen, author of Training Them Wisely - discipling kids, as she talks to moms, dads, and people in ministry about how to disciple kids. Kids are not being exposed to a biblical worldview through school, friends, YouTube, social media, etc. Biblical literacy is critical. We as parents and as a church must help this next generation stand strong in a world that is increasingly hostile to Christianity. Let’s talk about how to go about parenting in a godly way.
