Ep 01 | How can we shape our children's worldview?

In this episode of the Made For More Podcast, Dr. Roger Erdvig and Dr. Maggie Pope explore the concept of worldview in parenting, the importance of understanding how a child's worldview is shaped, and the role parents play in this process.

The conversation dives into the biblical framework for parenting, emphasizing creation, fall, redemption, and restoration as foundational concepts. They also provide practical, hands-on parenting tips on engaging in meaningful conversations with children to help them process their experiences and develop a biblical worldview.
