Preparing for College

It's almost time for your college student to head back to school. But that transition is a big one. It's not just learning how to get along with a new roommate, but it's also learning the challenges of time management, financial responsibility and embracing and growing in their faith on their own. Ed Stetzer talks with authors and professors Alex Chediak and Jonathan Morrow about how you can prepare your children to take that big step into adulthood and help them grow spiritually as well.
