8 Current Issues That Could Hurt Who Your Kid’s Become - Part 2
The cultural and political changes in 2020 and what’s coming ahead of us could have negative consequences on the future unless parents rise to the occasion and teach their children how to respond biblically. Last week we discussed masks, the lack of churches meeting, and the challenges in not having a strong community. This week we dive into the other five challenges: mindset on career paths, standing for truth sharing conservative and biblical opinions, too much digital, lack of belief in the US electoral process, and the costs of a decrease in the value of freedom by people around them. The Tolpins are sharing their proactive thinking process so that you too, can respond to today’s challenges so your kids don’t experience those future negative outcomes.
