You guys know how passionate I am to see parents discipling their children in the Bible.

And while it doesn't have to be complicated, it does have to be intentional.

That's why I'm excited to introduce you guys to the Illuminate Bible series from my friends at Lifestone Ministries.

This is a Bible curriculum that's designed to grow with your child from first grade all the way through high

school. So whether your child is just starting to read or asking deeper questions about faith

and culture, Illuminate meets them right where they are and helps them build a lasting

relationship with Jesus. Each week, you'll walk through a simple five-step approach. You'll look

at a Bible story, check out the context around

it, see how it connects to the rest of Scripture, set of the theology behind it, and find out what it

means for real life. It's designed for families, so you don't need five different books for five

different kids. You can go through it together using workbooks tailored to the ages of your kids.

So if you've been looking for a way to disciple your kids without adding more stress to your day, this is it.

What advice do you have for me as I move into adulthood in order to become a more informed and involved citizen?

Well, first of all, thank you for being here.

I have hoped thanks to people like you.

How old are you again?

13.

13.

Here's a couple of things I want to encourage you to do.

Learn something new every single day.

And focus on what it means to be a good person and a person in strong character. Aristotle said that courage is the ultimate virtue about it. There are no other virtues. If people aren't courageous, you don't have honesty. You don't have justice. You don't beauty. You don't have wonder. And so at age 13, I want you to commit yourself to a life of courage. Courage is doing the right thing when you don't know how it's going to work out.
