RJK 1: What Does It Mean To Raise Jesus Kids?

Fri, 07 Apr 2023 19:48:49 GMT

In this episode, we explore what a Jesus kid is, how we can raise them, and why this is so important in our current culture. Is raising Jesus kids about taking them to church, homeschooling them, or sheltering them from every outside influence that could distract them from Christ? Not in the least. It’s so much more, and it’s such a special calling and an honor to be pursuing Christ together with our children.

Join me for this inaugural episode where we find out what it means to raise Jesus kids, how we can go about it, and why I believe our current generation is in the perfect place to draw our kids close and run towards the Father.
