Stop Hanging Out Water Guns

About this episode

Brad Harrub discusses the critical responsibility of parents in training their children in faith, especially during the key disengagement window of ages 13-24.

Stop Handing Out Water Guns by Brad Harrub, Ph.D. I want to say this as respectfully—and as honestly—as I can. Before anything else, Scripture is clear: parents are commanded to train their children Deuteronomy 6:6–7 Ephesians 6:4 I know that, I preach that, and I practice that. The responsibility for training up my children does not belong to the church. But with that said… We really must do better. We are standing at a critical moment in a young person’s life--research indicates that ages 13-24 is the key disengagement window for a young person's faith. #christjesus #love #pray #prayer #gaintheworld #jesus #church #christ #newepisode #churchofchrist #TheOneTrueGod #willard #chroniclesofwillard
