We continue our series on responding to cultural challenges biblically, focusing on raising kids to be salt and light in today's world.

• Only 4% of Gen Z holds a biblical worldview
• Christians are called to represent, not retreat
• Daniel provides an excellent biblical example of standing firm in a pagan culture
• Normalizing faith conversations at home builds a foundation for biblical thinking
• Starting conversations can be awkward but perseverance is essential
• Using media as conversation starters helps identify worldview messages
• Role-playing cultural scenarios prepares children for real-world encounters
• Parents must teach truth boldly and early to beat cultural influences
• Fuller Youth Institute research shows kids whose parents regularly discuss faith are 5x more likely to stay rooted in Christ
• "A sheltered faith is a shallow faith, and a tested faith becomes a trusted faith" - Sean McDowell
