The Biblical Roots of American Freedom
Parenting has never been for the faint at heart, but in our society today, moms and dads face a whole new set of hurdles that can seem insurmountable. On today’s edition of Family Talk, we’ll hear from Kirk Cameron, who is an evangelist, speaker, and actor, about specific challenges parents are experiencing across our country. Kirk boldly proclaims that we have allowed the root of Christianity to be severed and, “if we don’t repair it, nourish it back to health, the fruit will shrivel and the tree will topple.” Luke 12:48 says, “From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.”

Homeschooling Today – Part 2
Too many parents are under the impression that education is simply reading, writing, and arithmetic. On today's edition of Family Talk, Jay and Heidi St. John, who have homeschooled their seven kids, declare that education is never neutral! Dr. James Dobson concludes his discussion with the St. Johns, founders of Firmly Planted Homeschool Resource Center. They insist that there is always a worldview being taught, but is it one with integrity and honor? In Luke 6:40, Jesus said, "Everyone who is fully trained will be like their teacher." That is why Heidi wants to equip her kids with a biblical worldview, so they know why they believe what they believe.
