Our kids need to know what they believe, and why they believe it. We, their parents, are the best people to have these conversations! With two kids in college (a Christian college, no less!) I can tell you that if your kids’ faith has not been challenged during their growing up years (which is probably will be) then it definitely will be when they leave home one day. Do not leave this up for chance! Natasha has written a number of books offering help for these most important conversations, and I’ll be linking to all of them in the show notes. Today we get to dive into conversations about Jesus, and I think you’re going to be encouraged!!
