In this episode Isaac and Angie discuss the very real need for parents to cultivate the kind of relationship with their children where they “tell them the necessary things” while also teaching the biblical approach to conflict resolution. What does the Bible teach regarding tattling and gossip, how do the two go hand in hand, and how does a parent teach children at different ages how to learn this skill of truth telling and caring for others while also being careful not to cross the line of gossip?

Parents must evaluate the spiritual maturity and emotional intelligence of their children, teach biblical truth and how it applies to us as we live out our lives as Christ followers! What a powerful and much needed topic to cover for parents of kids of all ages! This episode will be a favorite for a long time.
