Summary

Have you ever struggled to understand the “how” and “why” of discipling your children? Join me today as I talk with my friend, author Leslie Nunnery, about the HOPE that springs from a life devoted to following Jesus. Parents who know Christ have His promises to guide them—and when we pass His truths to our children, God promises to do the rest.

Leslie Nunnery, a homeschool mom of 4, is the co-founder of Teach Them Diligently along with her husband David. God has given her a strong burden to minister to Christian families to help support, encourage and equip them to disciple their children, protect their marriages, and serve God in the ways He has planned for them.
As parents, we’ve been given a powerful promise with clear instructions. God tells us in Deuteronomy to “teach our children diligently.” This passage—as well as many others—gives us great insight into how to train our children and how to enjoy the promised blessing that always accompanies the mandates we are given. So, why are we as Christian parents still uncertain? Why do we live in fear? Why are we losing our children in record numbers? And what can we do about it?
Teach Them Diligently: Raising Children of Promise is a solution-focused, easy-to-read guide that is parent-centric and sets out to make the point that Christian discipleship—as commanded in the Great Commission—starts in the home.
Where will I see you this year?
