Talking with Your Kids about Jesus Participant's Guide: 30 Conversations Every Christian Parent Must Have

By Natasha Crain

You already know the world will challenge your child's faith in Jesus. But do you know specifically what those faith challenges are, how to effectively talk with your child about them, and what that means for you as a Christian parent on a day-to-day basis? If your answer is no, you're not alone. Many Christian parents feel the same.

But here's the good news: the Talking with Your Kids about Jesus curriculum will give you the confidence you need to have the conversations that matter most in today's skeptical world. In a friendly, parent-to-parent voice, Natasha Crain will walk you through a selection of six essential topics from Talking with Your Kids about Jesus on Jesus's identity, teachings, death, and resurrection.

Perfect for small groups, adult Sunday school, parent ministries, grandparents ministries, or Sunday school teacher/youth leader training, this participant's guide is designed to be used with the six-session DVD, sold separately.
