What are the best two words in the English language? I believe the best two words are "next time". My guest today is Lee Ann Mancini. Lee Ann believes, that parents who choose not to raise their children in the Christian faith may miss out on its rich tapestry of values, traditions, and community. Christianity provides a moral compass and a purpose rooted in love, compassion, and service to others. By instilling these principles, parents can help guide their children through life's challenges and foster a deeper understanding of empathy and kindness. Additionally, the Christian community often provides a supportive network where families can find belonging and encouragement. While each family's beliefs and choices are deeply personal, embracing the teachings of Christianity can offer a profound source of guidance and fulfillment for both parents and children alike. Join me as we try on Lee Ann's Nike shoes. 

Dr. Chaps reports that a nearly two-year legal battle over abortion in Arizona ended on April 9 with the state Supreme Court's ruling that a pre-statehood ban on most abortions is legally enforceable in the state. The 1864 law bans all abortions in Arizona, except those performed to save the life of the mother. The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, an athletics association for small colleges and universities in North America, has adopted a policy of only allowing athletes who were born female to participate in women's sports.

More to be desired are they than gold,     even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey     and drippings of the honeycomb. Moreover, by them is your servant warned;     in keeping them there is great reward.

Episode Summary:  Lee Ann Mancini and I talk about raising children to have a strong foundation in Jesus. It's her passion to equip parents with valuable resources so they can raise their children to have a strong foundation in Jesus—the only foundation that will last. This is such an important topic given the world we live in and the influences our children are under. We talk about how to help kids with bullying, why forgiveness is important, why kids are walking away from their faith and more. Quotables from the episode: I see how children are walking away from their faith – first priority is the salvation of our children and the preservation of Christianity. Kids are leaving home and being influence by a humanistic perspective from their professors and peers. The enemy of our soul and our children's souls likes to attack at the foundation. We need to give our children spiritual meat, not mild. If our children don't have a solid foundation in Jesus by the age of 10, they are significantly more likely to walk away from their faith. I believe His will for me is to equip all who are raising the next generation to have a strong foundation in Jesus that will last a lifetime. Don't look at the world and have despair – With God's help, we can overcome. God's word tells us the whole narrative, and we only need to walk in faith and spiritual sight. Your kids will reflect the mirror of your character. Our children are our future. We need to rely on the Holy Spirit for their transformation and do all we can to teach them the ways of the Lord. One of the most important things we can teach our children is how to forgive each other. Play is the highest form of science and education for our children. Make today the day that you decide what is most important for raising our children to have a strong foundation in Jesus.  Scripture References: Deuteronomy 6:4-9 NIV: Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 5Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates. Psalm 78:5-6 NIV: He decreed statutes for Jacob and established the law in Israel, which he commanded our ancestors to teach their children, so the next generation would know them, even the children yet to be born, and they in turn would tell their children. Psalm 51:6 NIV: Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb; you taught me wisdom in that secret place.
