How can we maintain a thriving relationship with God as busy parents?
How can we impart a lasting love for God and His word to our children?
What are the biggest challenges faced by Christian parents today?

I recently had the chance to sit down and talk about the joys and challenges of Christian parenting with Jon Sherwood, of JonSherwood.com.
You can watch the video here. (It’s only 16 minutes long, so I recommend giving the kids a bowlful of Cheerios, and locking yourself in the bathroom for some extended “me time…”)
Hope you enjoy! And check out Jon’s website while you’re there—it’s a fantastic, faith-building resource!
