Grooming Our Kids for Love and Not Violence Lt. Col. Dave Grossman Part 1 [Podcast]

Parents – be aware of the grooming that is happening to your children right under your very own nose and in plain sight.

When we think of our kids being well-groomed, we think of issues tending to physical hygiene and dress; some things at least parents have some control over. Or to help our kids gain control over. There is grooming going on with our kids today that …

Through the Gate of SHA with Ginelle Kohl [Podcast]

In generations past, parents had the opportunity to learn from their parents how to deal with the issues of the day. Certainly things like literature, art, music and politics changed over time and scientific breakthroughs would shift the course of conversation too. But change was much easier to observe. Shifts on our views of morality took time and it was rare that the wisdom of the ages was ever thrown out entirely in favor of the temptation or whim of the moment. Not so today.

Our culture is in constant turmoil. What we once held to be true is not being challenged, it’s being replaced with the opinion of the day. Those once held beliefs are having to get in line to fight to regain their relevance. So, is it any wonder we …

Creating a New Greatest Generation with Josh Temple [Podcast]

Today we welcome back Josh Temple on License to Parent. If you missed Part I of our interview with Josh, you can listen online. It’s so good to have Josh with us today to continue to speak from the perspective of a young person, a millennial on what he has observed both in his personal life, as well as working at Shepherd’s Hill Academy.

I think you’d have to be blind or a liar to refute the fact that, by and large, today’s kids are not exercising the same degree of respect for their elders— or even their own parents—as they did just a generation or two ago. But, the distrust part …

Can Teens Transform Our Culture for Christ with Jordan Whitmer [Podcast]

Many Christian parents lament that their child’s public school is a breeding ground for drug trafficking, bullying, sexual perversity, postmodern and evolutionary thought, and other unsavory activities. In the eyes of many, public schools can too often reflect the epitome of antichrist, affecting and infecting not just the kids who attend them, but our entire society as well. Add to this our public school system’s ever-increasing reputation for subpar academic standards, and I think we can all sympathize with the concern.

While parents complain about these things, do they consider how they can help teens transform our culture? Let’s say a large number of public schools truly are as unhealthy as I’ve already mentioned. Let’s say that public schools truly are Junior’s …

Why Christian Parents Should Avoid Toxic Thinking of the World with Anthony Selvaggio [Podcast]

Everything that “is” first begins with an idea. As good parents, where should our ideas about child-rearing come from? Romans 12:2 admonishes us not to conform to the patterns of this world; rather, we ought to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. This Scripture isn’t only applicable to how we parent our kids, but also to how we conduct our affairs in all areas of life.

Unfortunately, the thinking of the world has influenced the minds of too many Christians today—even those within Bible-believing, evangelical churches. In fact, rarely realizing it, many Christian parents are raising their kids to actually acquire …

What is the Proper Role of a Grandparent with Mark Gregston [Podcast]

If you are a parent, you may also be a grandparent someday—maybe even a great-grandparent or a great-great-grandparent. As with other changes in life, parenting can require that we both evolve and diminish in our parental roles and responsibilities in due season.

As we mature in both wisdom and tenure, our role as grandparents requires us to properly shift gears accordingly as well. Shifting from the role of a parent to the role of a grandparent may not be as simple as it appears. After all, now two …
