For those of us with teens on the verge of leaving for college, it’s understandable that our prayer for them is that they will stand strong in their faith once out of our sight. We hope they will keep and honor the values they were raised with - but what if they don’t? Today, Jim welcomes Sean McDowell to discuss his book, Set Adrift: Deconstructing What You Believe Without Sinking Your Faith. Sean, a prolific author, gifted speaker, and Associate Professor of Christian Apologetics at Talbot School of Theology at Biola University is used to hearing from young people about their faith, or loss thereof - but he also isn’t losing hope. Listen in as Jim and Sean discuss how we can support our kids in this scenario and why we shouldn’t fear “deconstruction”...because the potential for their return with an even stronger faith is bright.
