About this episode

Paul Osbourn shares his reflections on the effectiveness of church in the upbringing of baby boomers and emphasizes the importance of teaching children the stories of scripture.

This week I want to share my confession that baby boomers who grew up in churched America, a country that most people attended church, was not as effective as we boomers would like to believe. This message should serve as a reminder to parents that church is not enough, your kids need to know the dramatic stories of scripture that teach them about God and their mission in the kingdom.
