Katie, I'm wondering, do we want to raise our children to be open-minded in regards to various

religion, ideologies, principles, theories, political systems?

You know, it's a good question, and you and I are both curious people.

And so over the last 10 years since we've been married, we've had our fair share of going

down rabbit trails on different things that I already mentioned, philosophies, ideologies.

And sometimes when we're discussing these things amongst ourselves, our children are present.

And I've often wondered, is this confusing for them? And I do think

it is something to consider. Jesus does warn about leading little ones astray, and there is a great

penalty for anyone that leads children astray. This is better that a millstone be tied around your neck

and to be drowned, you know, than it is to lead a child astray.

And so when we find ourselves in this position of being parents, you know,

stewarding our children's minds, their bodies, their souls, their spirits,

and being their spiritual authorities, they're physically, like the presence of a spiritual

authority here on earth.

And then I consider that verse. It really makes me want to consider how much I'm making my

children question at a young age because children are so formidable. And I do think that it is our

responsibility as parents to train to lead them, to train them up in the way that they should go so that when they are old, they will not depart from that way.

And so while you and I might be very comfortable, you know, considering other ideas that maybe are contradictory to scripture, we would never fear of each other letting

those things take root in our heart or in our mind because we know that scripture is the

ultimate authority. And Christianity is true. But I think there is danger when you've got children

in your home when it's not as clear for them.

Well, and I think, too, I think it comes down to, you said discussing things that are contradictory
