Summary
The statistics on kids raised by Christian parents falling away from the church are disheartening. I’m joined today by Lee Ann Mancini and we’re talking about the urgency of raising our children to follow Christ. How did we get to this point, and more importantly, what do we need to be doing differently?
Stick around for Happy Hour and we're going to continue talking about her book, Raising Kids to Follow Christ and take a little bit of a dive into some practical advice for parents and other caregivers as they start to help build the spiritual foundation for their children.
