As parents, we hope our children will follow Jesus forever. But maybe you worry sometimes that your child will grow up to walk away from the faith. Today's guest Justin Brierley has hosted radio conversations between Christians and non-Christians for more than 20 years. He's here to share the reasons why he still believes, and how your children can too. From his book, Why I'm Still a Christian, you'll be encouraged to raise your kids with confidence. We'll talk about:

4:07 Is raising your kids in a Christian bubble always the best for them?

6:46 How to answer your kids’ tough questions about God

10:45 What only the existence of God can explain

22:28 Helping your child through their doubts about God 

30:45 The new hope for Christianity
