Foundation Worldview Podcast

Today's question says, "What exactly does it mean when we say our identity is in Christ? I am trying to teach my kids this concept, but honestly I don't really know how to explain it or demonstrate/illustrate it. What does it really mean and what are the applications? And, most importantly, how do we instill this in our kids so that they are inoculated against the world's efforts to mold their identity to something else like radical gender ideology?"

In this episode of the Foundation Worldview Podcast, Elizabeth Urbanowicz addresses a concern close to the hearts of many Christian parents: discerning if a child has sincerely embraced their faith. Elizabeth underscores the notion that true knowledge of a believer's heart belongs only to God. Yet, she identifies several indicative behaviors parents can observe, such as an unprompted interest in divine matters, noticeable conviction and repentance, and a growing embodiment of the fruits of the spirit. Elizabeth cautions, however, that these behaviors are not absolute confirmations of genuine faith. Join us for a discussion on nurturing and recognizing your child's spiritual development.

Today's question says, "How do Christian parents justify their girls wearing revealing clothes in extracurricular activities such as ballet, cheer, volleyball? I don't find it consistent that Christian families should allow it, and if we shouldn't allow it, how do we go about exposing our girls to these sports without having them reveal their bodies? I don't want to seem legalistic, but it just doesn't seem that the Bible justifies dressing like this simply because it's a sport. Please share your opinion."
