Ep. 7: What Worldviews Are Competing with Your Kids' Faith?
May 10, 2021 ● 32 minShare this episode
When it comes to worldviews, the question we have to ask ourselves is: “Which worldview best represents and explains reality?” We don’t want our kids to believe the Christian faith just because we told them to, but because they have investigated other worldviews and believe Christianity is the best explanation of reality.
We want our kids’ beliefs to be:
Sound, Logical, Cohesive, Coherent, and Convincing
When you combine all of that with a personal relationship, your kids will have a really solid faith.
