Learn MoreThe conversation around identity is a mainstay in print, online and through social media outlets. Culture tries to assign us worldly identities. We portray false identities so people believe we’re something we’re not. Criminals try to steal our identities. And whether we are aware of it, we choose our spiritual identities. But what is our true identity? Hint: It cannot be defined by culture, impulse or feelings, but when we discover it, it can change our lives forever! If you or someone you care about is searching for their true identity, it can be found and nurtured through reading Identity: Understanding Who I Am and How God Sees Me.

We were told the smartphone would free us—offering insight, connection, and a richer human experience. But instead of joy and fulfillment, it has delivered addiction, anxiety, depression, and isolation. No one is forcing us to use it. At any moment, we could put it down and walk away.
But we don’t.
This isn’t just an adult problem. Our children are being affected, too. As Christ-followers, we grieve at the thought that the children in our homes and churches might grow attached to a counterfeit captor—one that slowly takes hold of their hearts. How does this happen? And more importantly, how can we stop it?

When children ask you the tough questions about God or life, are you prepared to respond to them with biblical truth? Or do you give them the world’s response, feign knowledge, redirect them or evade their questions altogether? Now you can always have an answer that points children to the truth of all answers!
With concrete and practical instruction, Talking Together: Truths for Tough and Timely Conversations will give you the confidence and ability to respond to whatever children ask you, whether simple or complex, whether casual or personal. If you are a ministry leader, parent or someone important in a child’s life, God wants to use you to raise up the next generation of disciplemakers. Be ready and know how.
