About this episode
Adam Griffin and Cassie Bryant are joined by Afshin Ziafat to discuss what sets Christianity apart from other religions and how discussing that with our kids helps reinforce the gospel. Questions Covered in This Episode: Can you walk us through some of your story of coming to Christ? Why do you think it’s important for parents to teach their kids about what other people believe? How can parents help their kids to respect people who don’t believe the same thing we do while standing firm on what we believe? What really sets Christianity apart from so many other religions and worldviews? Can you see how teaching kids what other people believe might be a chance to reinforce what we believe over and over again? How can parents help kids develop the ability to distinguish what is orthodox from what is false? What role should the church play in equipping parents to understand and address different worldviews and religions? What role can parents play in preparing their kids to enter a society that thinks of Christianity as a bias and atheism as neutral or even open-minded?
