Parent Resources

As a parent, I understand how difficult it can be to sift through the endless amount of Christian content aimed at discipling the youth of today. My hope is that you find these resources helpful in discipling your family. I have discovered that most content of this nature can have pitfalls or leave gaps. However, I like to take an approach of "chew on the meat and spit out the bones", meaning, use what is helpful and disregard what isn't. In addition, an open Bible is a great discipleship tool!
