When children are making big life decisions, here's what they need to hear from their parents,

according to Bill Ellif.

God wants you to know his will more than you want to know it, because his reputation is at stake.

And so if you'll pursue him, that's going to happen.

Now, God has put in your life some counselors, and the first two are mom and dad,

and we are protectors, and we're responsible, so we're going to be in this thing. We're

going to laugh with you about it. We're going to cry with you about it. We're going to pray with you about it.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgamu, author of The Quiet Place Devotional for July 4th, 2018.

All week, Nancy's been talking with Bill and Holly Ellif.

There are no strangers to most of our listeners.

Holly is a regular contributor to revive our hearts.

She and Bill are parents of eight children, and Bill is a teaching pastor at the Summit Church in North Little Rock, Arkansas.

We've been hearing a practical discussion

on parenting this week, and we're going to jump back in. Here's Nancy.

Let's talk about leading your children to Christ, because I know Christian parents want

for their children to know Christ. How have you handled evangelizing your children?

How are you presenting the gospel to them?

Can little ones come to faith in Christ?

How have you approached that?

Well, in our home, you know, as a pastor, and honestly, most a lot of good followers of the Lord who get their kids around

the right environments.

They're hearing the gospel.
