Marxism is an ideology that has permeated cultures, education, and even churches which makes it difficult for those holding fast to a pure Biblical worldview. What is Marxism? How has it made its way into the church and potentially into our lives as Christians? How can we combat this as Christians? Patricia Engler traveled to the very beginnings of Marxism and researched its roots to write this book. In this episode she discusses what she found and how we, as Biblical Christians, can uphold a solid worldview and teach that Biblical worldview to our children. You can find her book here: https://answersingenesis.org/search/?refinement=store&q=Modern+Marxism One of the books brought up in this episode, Faultlines, can be found here: https://answersingenesis.org/store/product/fault-lines/ Another book, Sherpherds for Sale, can be found here: https://a.co/d/d2eD98n To find Patricia’s podcast for Answers in Genesis, Zero Compromise, you can go Spotify or wherever you find podcasts!

What about those pesky chores? This is a big question that I hear from families. What age do you start expecting them to do things.. what is appropriate for each age group…how do you keep them accountable…allowance or no allowance? These are age-old questions all parents face at one time or another throughout their time of raising their children, sometimes more frequently than others. In this episode I talk about chores and all that encompasses them: How to maintain a schedule, what to expect from each age group, how to address allowance, and the importance of keeping the schedule loosely.
