The Push

Many who know me think I'm just a Hell Brimstone Fire preacher but I do have other passions. A passion to sit outside on a deck with a sweet breeze sipping tea and reading for one.

As I reflect on my life, teaching high school, and now having little girls of my own I've realized a couple of things. 




The State of Christians:
Many Christians profess just that, " I'm a Christian." Yet they do not know or can tell others anything besides Jesus is the Son of God and that He loves them. You can look at their life and realize they don't even know enough to have an inward change to reflect the God they serve. No application of the Word of God because they do not read it nor apply it. Their every day speech resembles Nightly TV, the mouths love the taste of liquor, beer and wine. Don't even try to correct them as offense rises up because God knows their heart... YES HE DOES!

Just out of curiosity and I know I'm not alone thinking this but why does the majority of the church want to look the same inside and out as the world (non professing christians)? Why can't we stand apart? Why isn't it OBVIOUS that we stand for God and the principles, values He has called us to?

I have sat in classes and have seen Christian students being attacked because they could not offer reason to their beliefs. The common question of " HOW DO YOU KNOW...?" 
I've been there, have you?

I have seen those growing up in Christian households fallaway from the faith because their parents or their Church (IF) they attend regularly and pay attention may not give them foundation of real day adequate answers of defending our faith with boldness and confidence.

Our Blooming Generation:
I wanted to learn how to defend my faith. I want my girls to know God isn't real just because I say so but there is pure evidence He exist. I don't want them to doubt or to be deceived by every wind or doctrine that comes their way. I Need them to Believe God for themselves and to not be afraid to face the questions bound to come their way in school, social media, and on the street. I know I'm not alone on wanting to raise Kingdom Warriors.


In my research I found an author, Natasha Crain, who wrote a book called "Talking with Your Kids about God: 30 Conversations Every Christian Parent Must Have" I felt led to share key points and topics to help our families engage, be empowered, and to grow in Christ defending our Faith.

GET THIS BOOK!
