About this video
As Natasha Crain notes in the third episode, sometimes children think of questions that we, as adults, don’t. Especially when it comes to the theological foundations of our faith, we often present complex biblical concepts as fact without considering how our children’s young minds process that information.

View all- 1Episode 1: The Importance of Teaching Apologetics to Your ChildrenIn order to successfully navigate our post-Christian culture with their faith intact, your kids are going to need a strong foundation.

- 4Episode 4: Love and JudgementIf there’s a word that’s misunderstood more than “judgement,” it’s the word love. The Bible has a lot to say about this term; in fact, Scripture tells us that “God is love” (1 John 4:8, emphasis added). But as Natasha Crain notes in Episode 4, our society has essentially redefined love to mean “affirming of everything.”

The second involved watching the same movie with a group of students who knew nothing about the real-world events that serve as the backdrop of the story.
