Spiritual Foundation #3 Relational Preparation

Apologetics, Christianity, College-Prep, discipleship, Gospel, Julie Loos, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, MamaBearApologetics.com, relationships
As excited as I was to go to the university of my dreams, 40+ years later, I still remember the empty feeling of watching my parents and sister drive away. What would things be like at home without me? What would things be like at college without them? Will I make friends? Will I find my way? One of the first ways to prepare your child relationally for college is to prepare you both for your relationship to change. Going off to college is an adjustment for the entire family. Your relationship with your child is going to naturally change as they move toward calling more of their own shots (and calling you less). So let me give you my $5 piece of advice: Mama, you need to let go. And your cub needs…

Is THIS One of the Strongest Evidences for the Bible?

Bible, Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, Evidence, Jesus, morality, Old Testament, philosophy, Podcast, religion, theology
What did Jesus mean when He said the Old Testament was all about Him? Could figures like Moses, Joshua, and Joseph actually point directly to Him? Once you see how the Bible connects from Genesis to Revelation, you’ll realize it could only have been inspired by a Divine Author. Frank explains how God’s plan for redemption was woven into the very fabric of Scripture long before Jesus walked the earth as he answers questions like: What are the three main arguments for the existence of God? What is typology and how does it demonstrate the divine nature of the Bible? What’s the difference between a theophany and a typology? How can biblical interpretation be divided into three levels? What two ways did Jesus and the apostles interpret the Bible? How…

In the previous blog in this series, we recommended starting spiritual college preparation with the faith-based foundation of Bible study and prayer. To that, we suggest adding several intellectual disciplines, which together help us love God with our heart, soul, mind, and strength. We start with the faith-building strength training of apologetics. Intellectual Challenges Your Kid May Face    For a while now, the stats haven’t been good for Christian kids’ faith to come out intact after they hit the college campus or even after high school. (If you want the facts, just read a summary here.) In recent months there has been some better news about Gen Z: they are more open spiritually, and young men are attending church more. However, there are still questions about  that “spirituality” leading to Christianity and whether the habit…

Are we experiencing a revival here in the United States and maybe around the world? Pastor Robert Furrow, long-time leader of Calvary Chapel Tucson, joins Frank to share what he’s witnessing firsthand and to unpack insights from his new book, ‘The Making of a Biblical Leader: A Practical Guide to Leading Others Well‘.

Tune in as they answer questions like: What is biblical leadership and how does it differ from worldly leadership? How can everyday Christians—not just pastors—lead people to Jesus? How is politics an “on-ramp” to Christianity? What important life lessons did Robert learn from his mentor, Skip Heitzig, about leadership…
