Where to Turn When Scripture Leaves You Confused
Today's question says, "We went through your biblical Worldview curriculum with our 6-year-old daughter, and I have been listening to your podcast and webinars for a while. 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? There are so many times I am confused about things in Scripture. Are there references you would recommend to answer biblical questions?"

Addressing Guilt and Shame in Young Children
Today's question says, "My youngest son, who is four, always resorts to saying 'I'm a bad boy,' or 'I'm bad' whenever he gets in trouble. 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?"
