Passing on our faith is not as easy as it seems, and each year more and more parents who have raised their children in the church are heartbroken to discover that their sons and daughters no longer believe in God, or at least not the God of the Bible.

That change of heart usually comes to the surface during high school or college, but I contend that it begins much earlier, in fact as early as children are exposed to books, television, movies, computer games, the Web, radio, school . . . or simply to other children who receive regular doses of these influences.

Even adults who have been raised in the church often feel confused about aspects of their faith that they have always taken for granted when these beliefs are ridiculed or challenged by the media, friends, business associates, or the culture.

That’s why it’s so important for Christians to learn both how to discern the subtle messages that can penetrate their hearts and how to build truth filters around themselves and their children so that the culture can’t chip away at true faith.

I would like to help you in that effort through my website, speaking, and books. Please contact me if you would like me to speak for your church or group.
