How to Disciple Your Kids Without Losing Them to the World

About this sermon

In this honest and practical conversation, Pastor Josh McPherson and his wife Sharon answer tough parenting questions every family faces: Should sports ever take priority over church? Are we sheltering our kids too much? How do we raise children with strong values in a culture pulling them the opposite direction? Drawing from years of ministry and parenting, they unpack how time reveals priorities, why not all “good” things are equal, and how parents can intentionally shape their kids’ hearts. This episode will challenge you to think deeply about what you’re modeling—and what your kids are actually absorbing. GET YOUR TICKETS NOW!
