Raising kids in a secular culture

T

It feels like everything is pushing against what we're trying to teach at home. School, TV, friends, social media. My kids are getting older and I'm realizing I can't just shelter them. We're trying to ground them in scripture so they can think critically and make good choices even when we're not around. Praying a lot more than I used to. Anyone else feel like this is harder than it was 10 years ago?

This is real. Everything feels like it's working against what we're trying to teach at home. It's exhausting but I keep reminding myself that my influence still matters more than all that noise combined.

The secular culture thing is real but I've found that if I'm intentional about conversations with my kids, we can talk through the contradictions together. They're smarter than we give them credit for.

What specific things are you seeing that feel most contradictory? I have three kids at different ages and they're all getting different messages from different places. It's tricky to navigate.
