Dr. George Barna Worldview in America
From the media to the classroom, our kids are surrounded by beliefs that run counter to the Bible. Things that were shocking 50 years ago are promoted as desirable today.

In order for your child to show RESILIENCE, you must educate yourself about our culture to learn how to equip your child to stand fast in the faith.
