The Cross of Parenting: How to Instill the Faith in Our Kids - w/ E-Knock

Today's exciting and thought-provoking dialogue takes us through the intriguing realm of faith, youth ministry, and parenting as we sit down with none other than E-Knock, a youth ministry veteran. Brace yourself for a captivating encounter that will challenge, inspire, and enlighten you. From the gripping tales of Medjugorje in the 90s, filled with end-times fear, to E-Knock's impressive transformation of youth ministry from an emotionally-driven approach to a traditionally grounded one, expect a riveting discussion that promises to be as insightful as it is profound.

Next, we dive deep into the complexities and nuances of religion, exploring how it can be a source of inspiration and comfort but also confusion and fear. We share personal experiences, discussing emotional encounters at Steubenville conferences, the impact of Mary apparitions, Eucharistic miracles, and the potential pitfalls of apocalyptic language with younger generations. Together, we underscore the need for a deeper understanding of God's love, respect for free will, and the enriching influence of Protestant converts on the Catholic faith.

In the final stretch of our intense conversation, we tackle the delicate balance of faith, parenting, and the influence it has on our children. Delving into the challenges and joys of parenthood, we discuss setting a good example, the power of prayer and fasting, and the ways we can shape our children's relationship with God. As we reflect on the upcoming synod and the potential implications for the Catholic Church, we also touch on political divides, the potential consequences of a less charitable Pope, and the role personal faith plays in politics, music, and family values. Tune in for a candid exchange that explores the intersection of faith, youth ministry, and parenting in today's world.
