Ep. 734 - Raising Our Kids to Follow Christ and Develop Lifelong Trust in God - Lee Ann Mancini

Lee Ann Mancini is a professor, podcaster, speaker, and author who has abundant wisdom on the subject of raising children in a way that cultivates a deep relationship in their hearts for Christ. Lee Ann authored the best-selling book, Raising Kids to Follow Christ: Instilling Lifelong Trust in God. She shares that a child’s worldview begins to form as young as 15 months and solidifies at 13 years old. Prepare the soil for truth in your child’s heart from the time they are in the womb! Don’t be afraid to have standards of behavior in your home and to hold your children accountable to those standards. Teach your children to be critical thinkers, as well.
