When Culture Is Raising Your Kids For You
The culture is speaking louder than ever — and Christian parents are feeling it. From social media and school curricula to the entertainment their kids consume daily, the pressure to drift from biblical values is constant and relentless. The question isn't whether the world will speak into the lives of our children. It's whether parents will be equipped to speak louder, and with deeper roots.
This month we're highlighting programs across your lineup that give parents exactly that — the biblical grounding, practical tools, and timely encouragement to raise children who know what they believe and why. With Father's Day approaching, it's also a natural moment to remind your listeners of the role fathers play in anchoring the next generation in faith.
Know The Truth: Raising Kids with a Biblical Worldview and Cultural Discernment
In this episode, Pastor Philip sits down with author and apologist Natasha Crain to tackle one of the most urgent questions facing Christian parents today. Only 4% of Americans hold a biblical worldview — and that gap starts at home. Natasha explains why it's not enough to raise children who know what Christians believe; they need to know why it's true. She covers the art of apologetics for everyday families, how to have real conversations with kids at every age, and the difference between a "purchase mentality" and an "investment mentality" in parenting. Celebrating the 10th anniversary of her book Keeping Your Kids on God's Side.
Ask Pastor Mike: raising a godly family
Pastor Mike Fabarez goes straight to the source — Genesis 1 — to remind parents that marriage and family aren't cultural constructs, they're God's idea. In this candid Ask Pastor Mike session, he addresses the alarming decline of the family in America (marriage rates have dropped from 84% to 48% since the 1960s), then gets practical about what biblical parenting actually looks like day to day. He also shares tools he built for his own family — Bible Survey for Kids and Beyond Bible Basics — available through Focal Point, that parents can use at home in as little as 20 minutes a day. The episode closes with a message from his Passing the Baton series on three sins parents rarely recognize as sins: child idolatry, anxious parenting, and raising self-centered kids. Direct, convicting, and deeply practical.
Bold Steps: Fathers & Sons
Gary Chapman — author of The Five Love Languages — joins this conversation on a quiet crisis: young men growing up without a model of faithful manhood, whether because their fathers were absent or simply never emotionally present. Gary reflects on what his own father did right, shares how words of affirmation can change the entire trajectory of a son's life, and offers a message for dads who feel like they've already blown it. A timely episode to share with your listeners the week of Father's Day.

A free ebook, How to Parent Your Teen in a Biblical Way, is available for your listeners on his website.
