Cameron Cole: Speaking the Gospel into the Practical Problems in our Kids' Lives

We often think about the Gospel simply as Christ opening the way to eternal life through the cross. As amazing as this gift is, there are actually even more benefits that flow out of the gospel, such as adoption, union with Christ, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Learn how these benefits can help you encourage your child in Christ in the day-to-day problems of their lives.

Sam Allberry: Dad, is God anti-gay?

Sam Allberry draws on his own experience as a believer who experiences same-sex attraction to help Christians answer this question with biblical clarity and charity. He presents a deeper understanding of the Bible’s teaching by combining Bible passages that talk directly about homosexuality with Jesus’ general teaching on sex and marriage, as well as what Jesus teaches about finding ultimate satisfaction and happiness. He will equip us to challenge the current culture narrative, which inextricably ties sexuality to personal identity, and show that the gospel is good news for everyone, whatever their sexual orientation.

Andrew Walker: Dad, isn’t the Bible’s view on sex outdated and intolerant?

Christian views of sex are painted as defensive and reactionary. Often, they are. In a culture that constantly pushes the sexual boundaries, it may feel like we have no choice. But the Bible offers a much richer, more beautiful, and healthier view of sex that fosters both individual and cultural flourishing. Leading Christian ethicist Andrew Walker will help us think through how to respond to the constantly evolving cultural challenges with that more fulfilling biblical vision for sex.

Scott Klusendorf: Dad, why is abortion wrong?

In the larger cultural narrative, abortion has gone from sin to necessary evil to celebrated good. Though an earlier generation would find it difficult to believe, our kids are growing up in a context in which the answer to the basic question of whether abortion is wrong and should be avoided is far from obvious.
