We're Training Soldiers for Battle! Parenting Encouragement from Abraham Hamilton III

What does it mean for our children to be "Salt and Light" in this world? As parents, we need to be aware of what we are training our children for. We are in a SPIRITUAL BATTLE and how we train our children matters - eternally!

In this excerpt from her interview with Abraham Hamilton III, Yvette Hampton and Abe discuss the fact that if you're not discipling your children someone else is. We are experiencing the terrible effects of generations being taught, trained, DISCIPLED in ungodly, anti-family principles, because we have failed to recognize that EDUCATION IS DISCIPLESHIP.

Why does family discipleship matter? What does it even mean? How about what we teach our kids about worldview? What kind of impact do we as parents have on not only our own families, but our entire nation through the training up of our own children? And, what does the Bible have to say about it? How does homeschooling play into all of this?

In this interview for The Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast, Yvette Hampton talks about these important issues with Abraham Hamilton, III. Abraham is husband to Maria, homeschool dad to five wonderful children, lawyer, Bible Teacher and national radio and television talk show host.
