How do you raise children who truly follow Jesus in a world full of distractions?

In this insightful and practical conversation, Christian educator Dr. Teresa Roberts shares with us how parents and churches can work together to disciple the next generation in an increasingly digital world.

Many parents feel unprepared to teach their kids about faith—but they are the primary influence in their child’s spiritual formation. Dr. Roberts explains why faith must move beyond Sunday mornings and become part of everyday family life.

We also discuss the real challenges facing today’s kids—from social media to peer pressure—and why discipleship doesn’t stop when children become teens.

If you’re a parent, grandparent, ministry leader, or simply someone who cares about the next generation, this episode will equip and encourage you.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

* Why parents—not churches—are the primary disciplers of children

* How to integrate faith into everyday life at home

* The biggest challenges kids face spiritually today

* Why many churches struggle to reach children effectively

* How to disciple teenagers (even if you feel like it’s “too late”)

* Practical ways to build lasting faith in your family

Key Takeaway: Faith formation isn’t a program—it’s a lifestyle.
