How do we talk to our children and teens about tragedy, persecution, and the spiritual battles happening in our culture? In this powerful episode of Family Vision, Dr. Rob Rienow responds to the heartbreaking assassination of Christian leader Charlie Kirk and helps families process the event from a biblical worldview.
Rob explores how foundational truths from Genesis 1–3 are at the heart of today's cultural, moral, and political conflicts. He addresses the rejection of God's design for gender, marriage, and the sanctity of life—and challenges Christian families not to shy away from these hard conversations but to lean in with grace and truth.
