On today's edition of Family Talk, Greg Stier (pronounced "steer"), an evangelist who survived a harsh upbringing in a gritty, industrial town, pleads with Christian parents to pass the baton of faith to their kids. The founder of Dare 2 Share, a ministry with the mission to reach teens for Christ, Greg urges listeners to have those uncomfortable spiritual conversations. Like Christ's encounter with the woman at the well, Greg says lives are changed in the "crucible of awkward."

Greg Stier (pronounced "steer") grew up as a fatherless street kid in north Denver. During his childhood he witnessed bloody brawls instigated by his brutish, violent uncles. On today's edition of Family Talk, Greg shares that his home life was a mess, he was afraid of his own family, and he almost died three times in two years. But after the Lord radically saved him through an altar call at his grandparents' church, Greg set out on a mission to lead every family member to Christ, including his guilt-ridden mother, who didn't think God could forgive her.
