Raising Spiritual Champions - Part 1 with Guest Dr. George Barna

When you become a parent for the first time, you begin to realize the weight of the responsibility you carry in raising your children to be disciples of Jesus Christ. Today on Family Talk, Gary Bauer talks with Dr. George Barna about his latest book, Raising Spiritual Champions: Nurturing Your Child’s Heart, Mind and Soul. Dr. Barna shares the findings of his extensive research on how critical it is to start shaping a child’s biblical worldview early in life. Proverbs 22:6 says, “Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old, they will not turn from it.”
