Today’s Christians need a reminder that America’s culture is not morally neutral. It’s working against God and His truth. And nowhere is that influence more evident than with our children and young people. Today’s culture wants to strip away their biblical values, reprogram them with worldly beliefs, and then assimilate them into the secular machine.

Looking back into history, Daniel and his three friends were put in a similar situation, but they were able to resist assimilation. What are the powerful influences pushing against our young people today, and how can we help them stay devoted to God?

Did you know that nearly 70% of people who are succeeding with their personal goals, careers, and families— attribute that success to their upbringing in a positive family environment? That statistic certainly underlines the tremendous impact of dads and moms.
