Summary
Bias in the media is everywhere in the culture—even in Christian publications. More often than not, misleading headlines betray the facts in order to manipulate public opinion. This is especially true with our kids. How do we fight back? We teach our kids how to spot a counterfeit so that they will know how to find truth. Dr. Kathy Koch, frequent guest of the HSJ podcast joins me today to educate and encourage parents regarding cultivating discernment in their kids. Watch the podcast on YouTube | Rumble
