Summary

Every parent worries about this: How are we supposed to raise godly children in a secular age? Some people even fear having kids in the first place for fear of the cultural pressures and challenges they may face. That's why Melissa Kruger wrote her book, Parenting with Hope. Whether you're a young parent, a parent to teenagers or adults, or in between, this episode is for you. Melissa is the director of content for The Gospel Coalition, author, and writer. Tara and Melissa's conversation is lighthearted with lots of laughs over what it's like raising energetic children, encouraging truth on how we as parents can build a secure foundation in Christ for our families, the power of praying for our children and more.
