How can I raise a GODLY family?

"Marriage is hard on its own. Parenting is a tough job, in and of itself. But with the world being so divided and messy, cultivating a godly family feels even harder these days. How do we navigate all the challenges that come with parenting kids today? Scott Smelser and his wife raised 6 kids to love the Lord, and he sat down in our studio to share some biblical wisdom from their home. We hope it helps you in raising your kids, helping your grandkids, or even influencing the young people around you.
