The way I am is the exact reason I need Christ & His Gospel.

Love this conversation! But selfishly as a curly girl and hairstylist, I'm also OBSESSING over all the curls in this video 😍😍😍😍😍

"I wonder at the gospel more when I see the alternative" So true.

Thank you so much for this conversation and these truths and what we can do to help our children and youth…. Thank you Elizabeth for your genuineness and all your experiences . You are such a breath of fresh air!!! We are excited to see your curriculum too. Thank you again so much!! 😊

Thankful for these sisters in Christ.

Teaching kids to think critically about objective truth vs. subjective preferences is paramount in today’s age of following your feelings. LOVED this conversation and can’t wait to use these resources!

Teresa Meyer Excellent God bless so encouraging to hear this generation so interested in God. What a powerful resource to guide parents/grandparents actually everyone. 💖🙏👍

This was wonderful. Keep up the good work !!! As a former homeschool parent I give this rave reviews and would have loved to have this in our season. ❤❤❤ Thank you Alisha for this spotlight on a critical thinking and Elizabeth for sewing good seeds in minds

8 seconds into the show and I already pressed the like-button. 😊 I know it’s crucial to teach my children how to discern. And it’s important for me as well to be equipped to know right from wrong in these times. Thank you both for being obedient to God‘s calling. I learn so much through both of you, my beautiful sisters! God bless you! ❤️ from Germany

Yes yes yes I am so happy I found you ladies! As a girl who was raised to be atheist, I can tell you first-hand atheists indoctrinate their children as well. As far as children believing what they are taught by their parents... That is where it got interesting for me because when we were learning about Christmas and Hanukkah kids would ask me if I celebrate Christmas I would say "yes", then they would ask if I go to church and I said "no", then they asked me if I believed in God and I would say "yes". Let me tell you right now that really confused them. Lol Now, my forties and being a Christian and a nanny for over 20 years. I totally understand why they were confused. But this was just the beginning of me being a critical thinker.

This is absolutely God at work! It is ncredible what her work is doing in kids today. I don't have kids yet, but I'm bookmarking this website for the future!

Wish you were my daughter’s teacher! So important to teach our children about how biblical teachings are applied not just memorizing stories. God bless this teacher, her eyes are Open! Momma bear apologetics is a good resource for moms.

Great guest! Children are such a gift! Raising them to use all their God given faculties, not to waste anything... (Especially their minds!) is important to God...

REALLY looking forward to listening to this one! Equipping young people to STOP & THINK for a moment, instead of just automatically accepting the beliefs of ones culture, is absolutely VITAL - for genuine seekers of truth.

Thank you! This discussion inspires me to share with my grown children as they become parents, and also with my church children's ministry. It is so important for our kids to learn how to evaluate ideas! God bless!

I LOVE THIS!!!! There couldn’t be a more pertinent curriculum to introduce to youth at this time in our world.

This is absolutely fantastic. Adults don’t know how to do this nowadays and it’s a painful process to go through as an adult - why not get this instilled as a child! I think it does interact with whether the child knows Jesus personally too.

Excellent discussion Alisa. I love that the idea that children can think and learn with their own faculties is reemerging as something real. It's based on the old adage "Tell me and I'll remember for a day. Show me and I'll remember for a week. Involve me and I'll remember for a lifetime!"

I totally loved this podcast. I’m so glad I was led here. I’m gonna start teaching Sunday School again and this is what I needed to hear.

This is incredible. I've recently been on this road of discovering apologetics and I love the idea of applying it in our homeschool.

I thank our Lord for these 2 sisters in Christ, what an amazing God we have that is fair with his gifts to all irrespective of the gender, amazing wisdom thank you and Bless you in the name of Jesus

Amen! That first 20 sec intro...💯

What a sweet soul. I loved every second of this interview. Thanks Ladies ❤️❤️

What an intelligent conversation about teaching kids on how to think. Loved this

Great video! I’ve got 4 young children and I really want to teach them apologetics. I’ll have to check out Elizabeth’s curriculum. Thank you Alisa and Elizabeth for this interview!

Wonderful video, thank you ladies! We are being more intentional about talking to our kids and exposing what's out there and encouraging them to ask questions, think critically, and seek answers in the Bible. Thank you for sharing this! God bless you both! 🙏💕

This is so important. I want to teach a class like this for the kids in our neighborhood.

Just teach them sound doctrine from the Bible daily. There's no way around it. Many people can't defend their faith because they only go to church as a social event but they never spend time opening their Bibles reading it and learning it thoroughly.

Loved this interview, very informative and will be looking at Elizabeth's curriculum

This is such a relief to hear

This really helped me and gave me a different perspective on how to engage my children on their faith I've been having struggles as a 36 year old father of 4....I actually paused this video and used one of the tips of asking questions with my 4 year old it was a great way to explain to her something that I told her not to do a few days ago thanks for this conversation sisters!

This is fantastic!!! My 6 yr old has seen frozen 2 a few times now. I knew I wanted to have a conversation about it but haven’t gone too deep, just not knowing how to go about it. And I was ready to purchase whatever Elizabeth was selling pretty early on it this conversation. I can’t wait to look through her materials. God bless you both for all that you’re doing. I’m going to share this with my homeschool friends and other parents with kids. Thank you!!!

This is great and I love the idea of teaching this kind of critical thinking to young children…and letting it become second nature 😊

Very good information. 2 level heads in an upside down world. Ty ladies! God bless you.

Alisa and Elizabeth, THANK YOU ❤ As someone who has dwelt many times over how to equip my future children for facing the world, and knowing the importance of questioning one's own beliefs to find and know the truth, this discussion and the resources I now know I have access to bring such peace -- and excitement -- for preparing my kids for a grounded future! Bless you, Elizabeth, for your observation and for all the hard work invested toward this ministry for the Lord!

the only way to best equipt kids, is by expose them to this world. encourage them to explore and asking questions.

This is the second time I've seen Elizabeth on KZfaq and I really love her work!

This was extremely useful! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

Great podcast! This really helped get me thinking about ways to bring up conversation about world views with the little people in my life.

Great information! Thank you!

Excellent show.

Nailed it, Ladies. Thanks for all you do 🙌🙌🙏❤️

Wish I would have had this when I was leading Children's Church!

Alisa, are you comfortable telling us the age of your children? Mine are 9, 8, and 4, and I’m really wanting to have these conversations about movies and TV shows since they watch Frozen, Star Wars cartoons, Avengers, certain anime shows that I don’t know the titles of, and all these shows they watch with my husband, because he loves movies, but they do need to understand their world view. I’d love to see a Christian KZfaq channel made for kids that dissects movies and shows to teach Christian world view.

I love this! I constantly worry and try to keep my children from being exposed to certain things. At the same time, I know it is impossible to keep them from being exposed to lots of different things. To get ahead and have intentional conversations and teach them to think in a biblical way makes soooooo much sense and equips them for life out from under my "hovering" and protection. Thanks for sharing. Definitely going to check this curriculum out!

So good! Thanks for introducing me to Elizabeth and her good work! I'm so excited that she'll soon have a curriculum for 4 year olds!

Such an enlightening conversation. Definitely going to adopt this in the classroom. 🙌🏻

This was VERY helpful! Thank you both 😊

This is very needed today.

I've really been looking for a way to help my children fight the lies of the culture they're growing up in, along with reading scripture I wanted to give them extra resources to teach them how to form right ideas about the world we live in and the people around us. But I was at a loss for how to go about this and then bam, I see this video and I had to give it a listen bcz I want to know how other Christian parents are doing this. There's so much practical knowledge I got from this and I'm definitely gonna be looking into the curriculum and my mind is easy that I'm not the only one who is looking for this. Thank you for touching on this topic and thanks to the Holy Spirit bcz I know He guided me to this information when I felt I was at a loss. Really, thank you, I appreciate it so much ❤

This was SO GOOD! definitely shared to a bunch of family and friends and took notes! This helped me a lot! Thank you!

This was SO good and helpful as a parent!

Love this and praise God for it. I think it’s important to also be firm in “indoctrination” accusation that no one comes to religion, philosophy, and world views without a bias-even atheists. So, as parents who believe what the Bible says is true, and that Christ died for our sins and was resurrected from the dead, why wouldn’t we pass that on to our children? Why wouldn’t we teach them what we believe? All parents do that. So, yes, we want to teach then critical thinking and how to correctly understand and apply the Word of God, but everything in culture is seeking to teach a message, too. Nothing is neutral, and we want to instill Biblical truths over whatever passes for true in this fleeting moment.

Great job, ladies!

Beautiful episode! I’m having my 2nd cousin in mind & hopefully if she ask me questions on somethings we can have interesting discussions even though she grew up in a strict catholic background. This is such a beautiful & important topic especially for the next generations! God bless you both incredible ladies!

Loved this info! Thank you!

Thankyou for this ❤️

Ugh. Such good content. May the Lord bless your ways Alisa!!! 😊

A very important video indeed..

Excellent ! Thank you

My one-year-old is in for a treat here in a few years.

Thanks Alisa

Wonderful content!

This was excellent! Looking forward to getting one of these curricula for my kids (4 and 2).

LOVE IT!!!!

Great podcast

This was amazing! Glad you both were lead by the Ruah ha'Qodesh to produce this needed content

18:05. This analogy is why there is a famine of the word of God today, most ministries focus on what I call negative apologetics, that is focusing on wrong doctrine, instead of positive apologetics, focusing on expository preaching, but that doesn't generate views.

oooh this is going to be good!!

God bless 🙏 familia good talk keep the faith

Awesome!

I'm using the short curriculum for my 3-year-old. He loves mrs. Elisabeth!

Allie Beth Stuckey has a book on this, You Are NOT Enough And Than's OK. Quick, good read.

sensible advice!

Let your guest talk....this girl is on a roll

Very good!

Very helpful, thanks.............DW.

Wow, thank you so much, it is so informative. Elizabeth and Alisa, the two of you look alike, almost thought you are related

I so needed this! Thank you! I have been looking for ways to teach my children about world views and help with discernment. I need it myself. A discount was mentioned in the video, but I didn’t see it listed anywhere. Did I miss is?

Watch- Truth 4 you: Understanding Revelation. I think you will be amazed at this teenager's Understanding of Scripture.

I think the difference is between a counterfeit and a placebo. False Christianity would be a counterfeit, but other religions would be the placebo

The one downside of teaching one's children other world views is that most parents are not well enough informed to correctly present that other world view. What they end up doing is teaching views that may or may not be accurate. Then, when the child finally finds out that what her parent taught was incorrect, then she has to start all over again assessing the truth of what her parents taught her about Jesus.

Just a small but respectful reminder that critical thinking is actually thinking, evaluating and analysing something without a fixed outcome and without bias. Therefore, you are not teaching children to think critically but to do the opposite, you teach them to reproduce your worldview uncritically. Which is fine, but do not call it critical thinking then!

1 Peter 3:15 "But in your hearts sanctify Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give a defense to everyone who asks you the reason for the hope that is in you. But respond with gentleness and respect, "

Alisa how old are your kids? I have twin girls who will soon be 8. Is this a good age to have the conversation about the movie frozen? I have talked to them about yoga as I use to do it until I was convicted about the roots of it and I explained to them why I don’t do it anymore. So I have had conversations with them about different gods/religions. Thank you for all you do for the kingdom. ❤️🙏🏽

This curriculum really should not be promoted to home or after schoolers, it is only for a large group of children and/or experienced teachers who have worked successfully at schools and can easily, no stress rewrite the lessons for small number of children.

Jesus uses "judge" with right or wrong actions and also good or evil people. "Judge not by appearance but judge by righteous judgment" is how we get to truth. Righteous judgment is listening to our teacher, the Holy Spirit, not by worldly perception. "Judge not or you will be judged." refers to condemnation or seeing people as evil. The way out of the latter type of judgment is forgiveness. Then we can see others as who God created in His likeness. And then we will see ourselves the same instead of running into judgment in the world and believing we are also evil. Matt 12.7 If you had known what these words mean, “I desire mercy, not sacrifice,” you would not have condemned the innocent.

They have each other's hair. Did they coordinate with each other before the recording?

Are there any promotional codes for her curriculum? It looks excellent, but its a big too pricey for our family.

A progressive faith is one that is willing to challenge the assumptions and to test the paradigm under which we are operating. It is not afraid to ask hard questions.

5th!

Alisa, my daughter is only 22mo how long will this discount be available😅

I'm wanting to bring these questions to the elderly board at my church to pray they vote Orange out. How much would you charge to help me prepare my "case" per say.

Any recommendations for a good book or videos for a young mother of 30

Heads-up, let her know the coupon code is not working.

Kinda funny that you and your guest look alike

I wouldn't let my kids watch frozen one.. Im curious about #2. Lol

This video speaks on objective truth but how do we prove the Bible is objectively true?

Minime

Lovely interview and a lot of interesting concepts mentioned. However, I don't understand how you can take for entertainment something that goes against the word of God. The example being given - frozen, the movie. All of the paganism is wrapped up in a fun/funny presentation and the child leaves that experience having connected these ungodly concepts with something desirable (having fun). I expose my children to a lot and we have many fascinating conversations, but I don't need Disney to help me have those conversations. If you read the old testament you will find a lot more interesting topics than Disney can offer anyway 😁 I just don't understand why people think they have to use the world's entertainment to discuss biblical truth. I have to work harder to find "decent" entertainment, but there is plenty of stuff available that we don't have to subject ourselves to downright sinful propoganda. P.s. I grew up without a TV at all and I remember being laughed at in 3rd grade because I didn't know the difference between a TV show and a movie. And you know what, I don't feel like I missed anything. I have learned so much in life and had deep conversations as a teen with adults, many of them being impressed by my "wisdom" and I never understood why they were impressed because to me I just saw it was common sense... now I know. My parents had us immersed in scripture and I see now it gave me a lot more wisdom and understanding than watching any movie would have. I actually wasn't ignorant the way people expected. And the thing is, I'm not an isolated incident. There are 13 children in my family that were all better off because we were not exposed unnecessarily to worldly entertainment. I understand that being a teacher in an environment where you can not protect the children from all sorts of ungodly exposure, the next best thing is to engage them in meaningful conversation over the movie they saw last weekend, but I want to reassure the parents that are not taking their children to the movies: your children will actually be better off for not going 😁
