Christian parents deeply desire for their children to develop a strong, enduring relationship with God. That relationship cannot be forced, but parents can create a home in which knowing, worshipping and obeying God are natural parts of everyday life.

This episode offers practical ways to talk about God, recognize His blessings, teach children to pray and study the Bible, and demonstrate godly character through personal example. It also explains the parent's responsibility—and privilege—in helping children begin a relationship with God that can last for eternity.
