Melissa Dougherty on Apologetics and Raising Kids Who Can Think

"Are you raising your kids to survive the spiritual war or just survive Sunday school? Melissa Dougherty (apologist, author, and fellow YouTube creator) is back on Remnant Radio, and this time she's brought a children's gospel allegory and a straight-talking framework for raising kids who can actually defend their faith in the real world.

Most Christian parents want to pass the faith to their kids, but somewhere between memorizing Psalm 23 and answering questions about dinosaurs and reincarnation, the strategy gets fuzzy. Melissa Dougherty, known for her work on new thought, new age, and Christian apologetics, brings her background in early childhood education to a conversation that every Christian parent needs to hear.

We dig into the real challenge facing Christian parents today: how do you disciple kids in a world that is actively working to undo everything you teach them? Melissa offers practical wisdom for every parenting stage, from toddlers asking "Who made God?" to teenagers staring blankly through family devotion time.

Additionally, we discuss how to celebrate the resurrection with joy and intentionality, why Christians should be making a bigger deal of Easter than Christmas, and how to think through the Easter Bunny, Easter eggs, and commercial culture without either being legalistic or losing the point." from the video introduction
