🎙️ Naughty vs. Nice: Generational Perspectives on Christianity – Part Two
In this powerful continuation, Todd and Laura sit down once again with their son and his wife to dig even deeper into the generational differences shaping the modern Christian experience. With honesty and humor, they examine the spiritual confusion that can arise from duality in belief, the subtle invasion of cultural values into church life, and the struggle to address real-world issues like pornography and disconnection.
This episode explores:
-
Why understanding evil is essential to understanding faith
-
How authentic relationships foster spiritual growth
-
The challenges of integrating science, education, and belief
-
Why parents (and mentors) matter more than ever in shaping faith
-
How modern Christianity must evolve to meet a fragmented world
From first impressions to lasting spiritual impact, this is a raw and relatable conversation about what it means to truly follow Jesus in a distracted, divided, and digital age.
“Jesus is the only answer that fulfills you.” “Authentic relationships are key to spiritual growth.” “Duality in faith leads to conflict—clarity leads to freedom.”
