Making America Great

We need to understand what made America great if we want to make America great again. The Bible is the source of all wisdom for Christians, and the Constitution is still the answer to America’s issues. This combination has worked well for Americans for over 200 years! America was once called “a city on a hill,” and it was because of this freedom that was grounded in strong biblical principles.

Large families and homeschooling

Having more than two kids in America gets all sorts of backlash from the world, but sadly, also from Christians. But it’s because so many have chosen the world’s wisdom over God’s. My guest today is Katie LaPierre, homeschool Mom of 11, Pastor’s wife, and the voice behind the popular Facebook page “Eternally Minded Mamas.” She is here to testify to the blessings of having many arrows!

Christian parenting in an LGBT culture

As Christians, how do we parent wisely in this environment? Our culture has become saturated in all forms of rebellion against God, not the least of which is the LGBT movement. No matter how you raise your children, they will be exposed. Children’s toys, cookies, candy, cereal, clothing lines, and cartoons have all become mouthpieces for sexual perversion. You would literally have to live in a bubble to keep your children from it. Today I want to encourage Christian parents that this battle is worth your time.
