“Teach Your Children Well”
Dr. Todd Johnson
Beyond being a great song from the 1970’s, teaching our children is a mandate for Christian parents. But what do we teach them and how? This session will be focused upon identifying some basic Christian beliefs, exploring developmentally appropriate ways to communicate them with our children, and behaviors that reinforce these beliefs.
Todd is married & father of 5 kids (including a set of triplet daughters active in our Youth Ministry!). You’ve met some new (to you) parents already since school has started, right? Bring some with you. They will be glad you did!
