A recent Barna Group study shows that only 4% of Americans hold to a Biblical worldview. Now, more than ever, it is our responsibility and privilege to teach the kids in our lives to be spiritual champions - those who transform culture with Biblical truth. 

Our guest, Dr. Adam Rasmussen, brings us great wisdom from a book by his colleague, Dr. George Barna, entitled, Raising Spiritual Champions, and it’s designed to help us teach. This book is for anyone who wants to have an impact on the next generation with the Gospel. 

Ready to hear how we can raise spiritual champions? Let’s go!
