How do we have intentional conversations with our kids about what's on the news? Can we shelter them from all of the bad stuff? Should we? When should we introduce them to some of the harder topics that people are talking about?
We may not have all of the answers, but on this episode of TJCFP, we discuss ways that we have introduced our kids to sensitive subjects, hot topics, and more mature conversations.

In this episode we talk about our kids and students being the church of TODAY, not just the church of the next generation.

What does it mean to partner with parents? Have you heard the phrase, "it takes a village?" It truly does take a village when raising up kids and students to intentionally live a Jesus-Centered life. At County Line Church, we believe it is so important to partner with the parents or guardians of our kids and students. This partnership is crucial in helping to develop the faith of young people.

In this episode, the team discusses the importance of kids and students to have at least 5 people, besides their parents, that are influential to their faith.
