I'm so glad to hear that one of your biggest recommendations for parents is to have our children read the Bible for themselves. What I want to know is where do we go when we have questions?

I've made very sure to never say that he is a bad kid, but that he's making bad choices. I try never to shame but point out sin. We talk about repentance and forgiveness, but he just keeps saying it. What should I do?"
