Ever wonder how childhood rebellion transforms into steadfast faith? The journey of Billy Graham offers a powerful dose of hope for anyone concerned about raising faithful children in today's challenging world.
As he was growing up, young William Franklin Graham was just a baseball-obsessed boy who despised everything about church. He couldn't stand the stillness required during services, hated missing baseball games with friends, and openly mocked preachers at summer Bible camp. In fact, young Will frequently declared there were two professions he would absolutely never pursue – preacher and mortician – as both seemed too focused on the afterlife when there was so much living to be done.
The key insight for parents today lies in understanding that  truth properly planted remains, waiting for the right season to flourish. Don't live in fear of what your children will face in an increasingly secular world. Instead, focus on equipping them with the truth that will sustain them when they're ready to embrace it.
