How do you raise children who fear the Lord in a culture that rejects Him?

In this episode, Pastor Virgil Walker joins us to discuss what faithful, biblical parenting looks like today. Scripture places the responsibility of spiritual training squarely on parents—not the church or youth ministry. So what does that actually look like in everyday life?

We talk about shaping a biblical worldview in a world of competing influences, building rhythms of discipleship in the home, and pursuing heart-level transformation rather than outward behavior. Pastor Virgil also offers encouragement for parents who feel overwhelmed raising children in an increasingly hostile culture.
