BONUS: Helping your family understand the conflict in Israel

The Christian Parenting Podcast - Motherhood, Teaching kids about Jesus, Intentional parenting, Raising Christian kids

We have never done this before, but we are releasing a bonus episode of The Christian Parenting Podcast!

In this bonus episode, we are talking about the crisis in Israel. I have talked with a lot of parents about what is going on, there are a few things that seem to be true:

• Parents are overwhelmed by this topic
• They feel unprepared to answer any questions that their kids may have
• They aren’t sure how much to tell their kids
• They don’t have hours to do research and don’t know where to start

If you are feeling any of these things when you think about, or hear about, the Middle East, you are not alone and we are here to help! I am joined with Dr. Jim Denison to learn all about what is currently going on in Israel. Dr. Denison covers questions like:

• What is the history of Israel and Palestine? Who are these two groups of people? Have they always been in conflict?
• Who is occupying whom? How do we balance that as American Christians?
• Who is Hamas and how did we get to this point of war?
• What does the Bible say about what is going on?

We also share how to talk to your kids about the war in Israel, how you can pray for the Middle East as a family, and how your family can support families who are affected by this crisis.
