Summary

How you handle this will likely impact whether you have a multi-generational legacy of faith or not. If your children are resisting church, that's a vital indicator of either a problem with your church that needs to be fully discovered, or a heart issue in your child towards church and God. Isaac and Angie Tolpin give practical insights on what to do when your children show resistance to going to church. If you want your children to make being part of a church family a priority with their families in the future, they must see you making it a priority consistently in yours.

0:22.1	truth found in the Bible. We can no longer let the culture win the hearts of children as too many
0:27.4	from Christian families are walking away from their faith by the age 18 and it doesn't have to be
0:31.8	this way. It shouldn't be this way. We're praising the Lord that the ministry continues to expand and impact more legacies.

1:21.7	USA hat. It's because it's inauguration day. So happy inauguration day for America.
1:27.4	That's right. All right. So should parents
1:29.8	force their kids to go to church? This is a topic that has been circulating media a little bit in the last
1:36.3	few weeks. It's an interesting question. We've actually gotten this question a few times in our lives
