Are Your Kids Changing Your Beliefs?

Are Your Kids Changing Your Beliefs?

Author: Brett and Erin Kunkle September 2, 2022 Duration: 34:55

Is it a real possibility that your kids will have a dramatic NEGATIVE impact on your Christian faith? Are you tempted to compromise God’s moral standards because your kids are? Are your kids catechizing you? Brett and Erin discuss how our kids’ struggles with God can slowly erode the faith of the adults who love them.


Raising kids with faith and conviction often feels like navigating uncharted territory, especially when the cultural currents pull in a different direction. That’s the space where The MAVEN Parent Podcast finds its purpose, hosted by Brett and Erin Kunkle. Their conversations are grounded in the real, sometimes messy, questions that Christian families face every day, moving beyond theory to offer tangible steps and thoughtful perspectives. You’ll hear discussions that tackle everything from everyday discipline and difficult conversations to fostering a resilient spiritual life at home, all while engaging respectfully with the wider world. This isn’t about offering a rigid formula, but rather sharing wisdom forged through experience and a deep understanding of both scripture and the contemporary landscape. Each episode feels like a candid talk with seasoned guides who get the challenges and are committed to practical help. Tune into this podcast for honest dialogue that equips you to build a strong, loving, and faith-filled family foundation, even when the culture seems to offer a competing blueprint.
