Hour 1: Parent Differently
You and your family can be a vital part of changing the world for the better! How? By raising youngsters with biblical character: children who live with humility, gratitude, and respect for others and themselves. Our guest, president of Celebrate Kids, will guide us as she explains what character is and why it matters, its challenges, and how to teach or improve character in kids.
Hour 2: The Book That Conquered Time
Everyone is familiar with the Bible—after all, it’s still the best-selling book in the world. But just exactly how did we get the collection of sixty-six books that make up God’s Word? Join us today as you discover:
· The differences and similarities between the Jewish holy books and the Christian Bible
· How the New Testament writings were copied and collected, including the apocryphal gospels and letters
· The church leaders who succeeded the apostles, what they wrote, and what they thought of the writings they inherited
· The church councils, controversies, and disputes that boiled over in the 300s
· Why certain writings were removed from the Bible, even though they might be helpful if not essential for our faith
· The purposes of modern Bible translations and the differences between them
