- This matters. These lies are being absorbed by youth in our culture and they are breaking their ability to think rationally and biblically faithfully.
0:00 Intro
1:12 If I feel it, it must be true
14:38 Follow your heart
26:45 Love is affirming everything I feel
35:25 Faith is the opposite of knowledge
46:44 Humans are the product of blind, unguided, evolution
57:59 You are the one you've been waiting for
1:08:24 A good God wouldn't judge
I HIGHLY recommend that parents check out Elizabeth's foundation worldview curriculum. It's a really good tool to train your kids (and yourself while you are at it) in how to think biblically about things. Since your kids are being exposed to worldly and unbiblical thinking all the time they are very likely to simply absorb it and assimilate it if they aren't given the tools to reason through the issues well. This is where Elizabeth's project comes in. You can have your kids do these classes once a week from home whenever it's convenient for you. I'm not making ANYTHING for telling you this. I think this is just a really needful program for Christian families in modern times. I know life is crazy busy for parents but I think this is one of those things that's worth your time and is really underpriced for the benefit it brings.

LoL at thinking you're a cosmic accident of blind unguided evolution but claiming you know what right and wrong is by what you feel.
Thanks so much for posting this! Very helpful!
I also love how a random accident like the big bang can produce and sustain orderly laws to sustain itself that always operate exactly as they should..
Such a random coincidence consider disorder tends to only produce more disorder .
I am not sure you feel about it and I assume that your plate is full but a potential thing to post would be to break these longer talks out in parts or a highlight video.
When I see your posts for 60min and beyond, it’s hard to want to click on that.
@@elmerwilliams2423 same
I truly believe a fair amount of adults need to take these courses also...
Yeah , because we all know evolution isn't real. And the idea of humans evolving doesn't feel right.
I agree with you! Maybe even including myself
Agreed
@@optimisticallycynical.814 "And the idea of humans evolving doesn't feel right"
what about the first lie.. "If I feel it, it must be true"
The idea of evolution not feeling right should have no bearing on it's trueness.. according to the video anyway.
The irony of Christians talking about the truth lol.
Good day, may one day everyone know the truth is hidden, and anyone who's claimed to know it was after something unrelated.
Evolution may not be 100% complete and true, but it's at least trying to be self-consistent.
@@grimfada "But how does a mind tuned to maximize survival require attaining anything true from our surroundings. For example, escaping a tiger can result from a plethora of false beliefs about tigers and their dangerousness to humans."
First, tuned to maximize survival is only a trend in evolution. It is essentially a random process, but the one's who produce more offspring and live long enough to produce more offspring are more likely to survive and be present in the world. I'll concede that the truth is not exclusively required to survive a tiger attack, but I'll also argue that the truth is more effective in more situations. If we want to survive things that haven't even happened yet we need to seek the truth about it. We are no longer struggling to survive the tiger of today, but the collapse of the future as well.
"If the theory of evolution is produced by a brain not tuned to attain truth but to survive, the theory and any thought whatsoever has nothing to do with truth. Survival is all that matters."
Here again, I would argue that the truth is very beneficial to survival, especially if we have gotten to a place where we don't have to worry much about tigers today, but our threats are abstract visions of the future that may or may not come to pass, the truth is a key part of this survival strategy.
"Self-consistency is not, in the other hand, a measuring stick that does good for you. A murderer intent on killing and willing to take action can self-consistent in their worldview, but still wrong in doing so."
yes, I agree with this 100%, which is why I said "Evolution may not be 100% complete and true, but it's at least trying to be self-consistent."
I didn't say that self-consistency was proof that evolution is true, it's just that being self-inconsistent would disprove it, like the king james bible is disproven as the inerrant word of god by contradicting itself. I don't think evolution is the complete answer, I don't think the complete answer is even necessarily knowable, which is my main point. If someone is telling you know the complete answer, but won't show their work.. I would be very skeptical, but that's just me. I only have a tenuous control over my own mind, I do not seek to try to control other's minds.
"Life just does not come from non-life, an empirical fact."
I don't think this is a proven, empirical fact. It's from a place of bias that you believe this to be true, even though you could not know. I don't know the state of research in this field, but regardless, there is no way to exhaust every possibility to determine it is impossible, especially in the timescale of a lab scientist. Just because life has not sprung from a vat of amino acids over the last few decades in a lab, does not mean it's impossible within the context of the entire cosmos.
Again, I'm not saying life came from non-life as an empirical fact.. I'm saying we don't know.. so, quit knocking on my door and telling me I'll see grandma again if I join this group and give my heart to Jesus, it's kind of sick, really this is how I feel. I wish everyone a good and fruitful life, but I don't know the answers, and I don't claim to.
Another kids’ exercise idea: have the kids draw their own treasure maps based on where they feel the treasure should be then follow their own maps, finding no treasure at all. And then hand out the real treasure map written by the one who knows where it really was hidden all along.
Very Good❣️
I like that
On point.
Boom! Young minds blown. Great idea.
Great idea! Although, my son would probably make a map to my wallet.
I cried for weeks when I learned our hearts are “desperately wicked”. Because I knew it was true but had been told my whole life “follow your heart”. What an amazing teacher she would be. I love her energy, so sweet and creative.
@@nicolab2075 who??
Right on the road to being born again God I got a simpke job and lives in the Colorado mountains in small a town w one stop sign where they made a short road to get to the Grocery store; rhe only light was warning for the fire trucks. I did this to study my Bible with no distractions. When I saw the truth of my wickedness in regard to this it was a foundation for my need od Redemption.
@@nicolab2075 people's *hearts* are desperately wicked. If untrained and uninhibited they will commit all manner of harm to themselves and those around them. We have a lot of societal infrastructure to inhibit and train some of that, but do not confuse civilization for the natural state, and do not assume civilization alone, even one as successful as ours, is enough.
@@mishaanton5436 I think it just means our hearts can deceive us. It has us following societal terms of what’s right n wrong over biblical.
@@nicolab2075 Most people you or I encounter have many layers of the weight of centuries of civilization and socialization on and around them, creating the sustained miracle of polite society. Get yourself uninhibited and see what happens, or just pay attention to how many selfish or outlandish impulses you reject internally.
She’s kind of like the female Mike Winger when she explains things - very clear and gentle teacher. Thanks for the content!!!
So many divorces and broken families because someone needed "to follow their heart" and "life their best life." Love is covenant self-control, and sacrifice. Following your heart should not break others. ~xoxo
True, True, True!
A great devotional is "Don't Follow Your Heart" by Jon Bloom. I can't recommend it enough.
Very well said and so true!
This is so true! It breaks my heart that this is such a common story.
Factzzzz
Actually this is not just for kids
..even I beleive these lies! Thanks pastor Mike for this video!!
I thought i was the only one🤕
Yes. I was just checking out Elizabeth's site. I thinking of getting the curriculum for my person devotional/study use. God has given Elizabeth a gift that has enabled her to uncover some root lies of the enemy, and his sinful "I want to be like God" mentality. (Isaiah 14:12-14)
My sister is in the same boat ): I wish I could explain this to her, but she’s reluctant

Another lie is that deep down - the hearts of all people are good.
Thank you Mrs. Miller, my 7th grade teacher, for exposing this lie.
Psalm 53:3 - Everyone has turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.
Thats what I teach my kids. They are corrupt and evil even before they learn to tie their shoes.
Why they ask? I say because thousands of years ago a talking snake tricked a woman into eating a magic fruit.
They say do snakes talk? I say no, but this one was being controlled by Satan.
They say who is Satan? I say he is the enemy. They say where did he come from? I say our loving heavenly father created him.
As a dad of 4 kids, 1-6 years old, I am so excited about going through this material with them!!! Let’s teach good thinkers!!! Thank you for this Mike and Elizabeth!
You might want to check out Tuttle Twins, which are books and videos for kids that teach correct history of America, plus finance and other practical topics that kids will need to know in order to live a productive life based on truth and time-tested methods that work.
I am a mom of 4 kids, four months to 6 years! Same boat! I just ordered this material for them too.
Confession... I'm guilty at 56 years old! The Spirit has been convicting my worldview and This! is God-sent and is so much more than a study for our kids. Elizabeth, I pray you have an upcoming book! May we all get unplugged❣🙏🔎👑
better at 56 than dead, bro.
There is already a book about this, it is called Mama Bear Apologetics. But this is great for reaching our kids step by step in structured lessons!
On my channel, I have a video from early July, “Why Did Jesus Have to Die?” I invite you to watch it and pray it will encourage also also and strengthen your faith.
@@cagr9334 Thank you!
Watched this with my 10 year old daughter today and it reaffirmed much of what I’ve been teaching her for years, but I’m sure it helped hearing it from someone who is not Mom. Lol We paused and talked throughout it and talked afterwards and it was great. Thank you both :)
Praise God for Moms like you!
Nice 👌
AWESOME
Well done mam 👏
Inspiring mama ❤
I am a single mom, raised in a Christian household, co-parenting a young son with a blasphemous co-parent. As I have been getting in the Word, searching for my purpose in God's kingdom and trying to establish values for my son to form his own beliefs, of course praying he chooses Jesus through his own accord, my work is cut out for me. Thank you for providing this video. It is BADLY needed in these times where it is becoming blatantly obvious that there is no escaping world views, i.e. ads on the side a public buses endorsing hyper-sexualized behavior and homosexuality.
This is on your shoulders, and you alone are his teacher. Live it. Inculcate. My childrens' father was a narcissist, and I wish I knew what this was before I married him. What I found the most effective was talking and modeling everything discussed here (and other lies kids believe) every day. On the way to school, at the dinner table, while doing the laundry and cleaning the litter box. We made it. My kids are now adults with strong faith. Thank God.
@@winniecash1654 Thank you! This is encouraging.
This teacher has been more theologically/philosophically insightful than all the public school teachers I’ve had in 20 years of living on this earth
The sad thing is, these are also lies that many adults believe.
it's been part of the conditioning for more than 2 decades, that's why. Conspiracy theorists have been exposing this for sometime now.
Especially that "follow your heart" one which often takes shape as that new age "positive beliefs will give me control over what happens in life" type of naivety.
Pastors, according to Ephesians, are to equip their members to serve. To be active. These days, preaching is something to just consume and adults remain spiritual babies. I think that’s the main problem.
Yeah. They're the ones teaching the kids!
Speaking as a public school kindergarten teacher, Elizabeth has all the right methodologies! Her approaches to teaching children these truths are some of the very same that I would have taken.. I will definitely be considering her curriculum when I eventually have my own children!
Oh? what school do you teach at, I would love to have my kids in your class.
Why wait? Be an Esther where you are and let God's light shine. Either stand against the flood of immoral perversion in the public schools or leave. Proverbs 29:25 "The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe." Are you fearing or trusting?
A patient I work with introduced me to Pastor Mike’s channel recently and I was hooked instantly! Just watched this video and wanted to share I do the same thing Elizabeth’s program does but with adults and adolescents. Core beliefs start young and because no one had a program like hers when we were growing up, I am called to share how to tie a Biblical world view to core beliefs as adults. It is so awesome and rewarding to see the lights come on and know they are experiencing the freedom found in Jesus. Elizabeth, I support you and am thankful you are being faithful to do this important work! I’m so thankful I saw this and will share with those I treat. May the Lord always show His hand is on this work and as a result future generations think and believe correctly!
I think the core of what she’s really teaching is how to think. I genuinely did not learn how to to properly think until senior year of high school. And I thank God for that teacher, he made such an impact on my life. I’m at the point where I’m learning to think biblically now that I’m a Christian. This is real exciting stuff that she’s doing and I can’t wait to teach this to my future children.
Its called indoctrination!
@@deeschoe1245 but that’s not a bad thing if the doctrine is a doctrine of truth.
@@rosabutcher5092 but its not truth. Its a made up fairytale. The bible has been shown to be no better than a comic book. Nobody knows the true names of the authors, it contradicts itself over 400 times, the stories are made up, and there is zero evidence anywhere on this planet that a god actually did anything. All this is is people putting their agenda on children, not letting them learn for themselves. Its abuse!
@@deeschoe1245
What is called indoctrination?
Teaching people WHAT to think is indoctrination.
Teaching people HOW to think, rather than just swallow the culturally accepted "norms" of our day is the opposite of indoctrination.
@@judylloyd7901 and "teaching" kids that a magic man in the sky is going to send them to hell for eternity, for simply not believing in it, is Indoctrination, since there is zero evidence of a hell, heaven, satan, or god! So my earlier comment stands.
This is stanadard child abuse by death cult dimwitts, whos BS isnt worth the air they use !
I have a 13 month old but I'm hanging on to every word in this video because I know my daughter will grow at the speed of lightning.
Hopefully by the time she is ready to hear it, you will know all the arguments inside and out. God bless you as you desire to honor God and bring Him glory
Before you even know it! The days are long, but the years are short!! 💕
Lol - me too! I'm only in the beginning of 2nd trimester and I'm bookmarking the website to the curriculum!
Same. 6 month old, first child...LORD help me
Take a close look at clothing. I have a 1 year old and a 6 year old. Each year, it’s getting worse and worse. At least here in Europe. There’s a lot of se x u a l innuendos for girls… especially the underwear! For girls, their clothes are subtle to show off their s e x u a l i t y . For boys, it’s about being being wild and doing what you want …. You know do what thou will In the Freemason world.
God led me to start teaching my babies at 9 months old about feelings based on the Bible. Teaching them the Galatians 5 Fruit of the Spirit is crucial before they start socializing at school so they know how to pick friends. We have it taped right next to our dining table to be able to talk about it often when eating.
Jesus bless everyone ❤️
I wish Elizabeth was my child’s teacher - so secular in Australia and this is sorely needed.
Best guest yet. This cut me to the heart and I'm excited to go through the curriculum with my daughter. I've believed those lies before, too! Being able to explain these things is what is so needed, and not just for kids. I was trying to explain what this was about and had trouble. I'm going to have to watch it again and take notes. It's such a different world now. So grateful to have watched this. Thank you Pastor Mike!
I do her curriculum with my 8 years old daughter. I love it!
Do you have a link to her curriculum by any chance? I'm on the hunt for some teaching resources for my school aged kids
@@clairepalmer840 Hey 👋 It's in the description area. 🙏
Hi B Patt - I'm so glad I saw your comment because my son is 9 years old and I wasn't sure if it would be good for him. I'll buy the curriculum! Thank you! 💖
Sandra Ward, the only thing I wish i could do differently about doing this program with my daughter is that I would like at least another child or 2 to do alongside with her. We're are not a homeschooling family, so let's just say she is not a big fan of having to through a 45 min class at home. Having another child can add to the discussion, some of the activities prescribed would be more fun and they could add to each other's experien e going through it.
I’m only 10 minutes in but I already want to use these things in our church class curriculum for young kids.
I paused at the same time to post this exact same thing! Agreed! I already want this curriculum for our kid’s church classes

@@tomhodgeson8223 we know who you are. Jesus wins and those who follow Him are saved from what will happen to your side. Rebuked!
funny, at 10 min in, I cringed at how much of a strawman they seemed to be setting up and after listening to the whole thing, I pretty much saw just this. I always laugh at this kind of stuff that says, "we're not telling them what to think, but how to think". This is a thin veil of genuine desire, wrapped in indoctrination.
@@ardbegthequestion I'm sorry you can't see the truth presented here 😳🙁
We're pulling our kids out of school next year and I will 10000% be purchasing this. Thank you!
I purchased it. I'm not disappointed at all!
Just signed my 12 year old son up for this! It will go perfectly with his homeschool curriculum and he is also learning apologetics in his Sunday School class. Thank you both so much for this video! Very excited to start!
I can't stop thinking, "Is it FEEL, or is it REAL!?"
What a great phrase for a quick perspective check!
Remember this when someone says the word faith
For real. 😉
But seriously, that is fantastic!
Parents need to be active in the raising their children in the ways of the Lord. Sending kids to 1 hour of Sunday school a week is not going to cut it. It is the responsibility of parents for the spiritual life of their children, not the church.
I see it as it being the responsibility of both, yet more so the parents, as they know their child much more.
Our church is training parents to teach their children apologetics and doctrine.

Wow. This lady is just so gentle yet DEEP!!! She's anointed by God for this clearly
My husband and I teach 5/6 graders. We have been so blown away with the mind set of so many of them. We are having to start with the basics. I appreciate this so much. We are going to apply these 7 lies and help our kids see God's ways are higher and His thoughts are not our thoughts! Thank you so much for sharing this!!!!!🌷❤🌷❤🌷❤🌷❤🌷❤🌷❤
The number of times I've had to explain what true love is to even pastors and "professional" evangelists just frustrates me. Thank you for covering that. I recently got into a heated argument with a popular Christian band on social media over what love is because of their very public affirmation of homosexuality. To them, letting someone know "they are loved" is more important than actually rebuking them for choosing their homosexual lifestyle over faithfully adhering to God's will, and justified their position by claiming that pretty much every Christian man has a porn addiction so no one can rebuke anyone else. It was so unbiblical.
That last bit is truly a pathetic attack they pulled out their backside. It diverts away from the topic and is irrelevant.
Yes, God loved the world so much he gave his one and only son to die on a cross that whoever believes in him shall not die but receive ever-lasting life, but he also says if you love him you will keep his commands, and that no one is worthy of him unless they forsake everything they hold dear in this world to follow after him and pick up their own cross.
The one who rebukes you openly is your true friend and is better than your enemy who will soothe you with a kiss.
Why? Because a true friend will tell you the truth for your benefit even if it hurts because they truly love you and don’t want you to be deceived. Your enemy wants you to stay in the comfort of your deception that leads to destruction. That don’t care what happens to you. That would love to see you be destroyed or just as miserable as they are!
Lord Jesus we follow after you. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil, for yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. ✝️♥️🙏🏻
Jip, I asked by ex-pastor how is putting someone's eternal salvation on the line by twisting what the Bible says to be socially acceptable, loving?
Mind if I ask the name of the band? I don’t listen to Christian bands who abandon basic Bible principles
Strawman argument is a logical fallacy. This is proof of their feelings over facts type Christianity
@Noodle take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. It really doesn't matter what you deem to be right or wrong. It doesn't matter what thoughts you have. We all have our problems, the mistake we make is calling good what God has called evil the justify it because of how we feel about it. Did you watch the video?
It's not only kids who think love means never upsetting anyone, it's strong in the church, especially with the LGBTQ... agenda. If you don't affirm their choice you're unloving, it's splitting churches here and the majority are in the "love" and affirm camp.
So much better than “you are enough “ is “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
What a great segment. I do not even have kids and I found this fascinating. Many adults need this.
Your best guest to date
Definitely coming back for a second watch.

@@strangerinmoscow6858 I thought the same thing!

Wow Elizabeth you are called teacher for our children I thank God for your yes to the calling and I pray God to call more teachers who know Christ to every school🙏
Miss U, miss U! What a great elementary teacher! Now those skills are being used in a new ways for God’s kingdom! Bless you Elizabeth!

PS. You’re still our kids’ favorite teacher😊
I got to watch this after my 5 year old fell asleep and I'm looking forward to getting Elizabeth's curriculum. This discussion was really helpful and not only for parents, but for anyone who needs to think critically and differently apart from our current culture. Thank you so much for covering this! Your ministry has been life-changing and this video was of exactly the same calibre. I thank God for you and what God does through you.
This is amazing. Thank you Mike and Elizabeth THIS is what Christians have been needing. Elizabeth how amazing is it that God has made you his mouthpiece. I have literally been searching and praying on how to guide my 7 year old through this world and all these new cultures being pushed upon them. Thank you SO much and may God continue to bless you and work though the both of you!!
My family is LOVING this curriculum so much. Thank you so so much for bringing light to what Elizabeth has built. God be praised!
Mike, I stumbled upon your channel a few months ago via the CZcams algorithm and have loved your videos and shared many with my community group. I have served in youth ministry for awhile and this video is so so so helpful as a reminder and to grow in how I help shepherd the kiddos better. I plan to share this with so many people. Thank you and Elizabeth for the great video!
I’ve taught the Foundations Worldview curriculum to fifth graders and loved it! There are lots of simple object lessons to teach worldview truths to kids.
This is absolute gold - thank you Pastor Mike for making room for this conversation and thank you Elizabeth for making these resources available.
Ehhh
This is SO applicable, not just for kids, but for teenagers, young adults, and probably older adults too. I have seen so many of my peers throughout high school and college, both in and out of the church, wrestle with these questions of reality. We really need to ask questions and challenge people to think critically. Great video
This blessed me so much as a parent by speaking into the places I tend to believe or fall into living this lie. I’m looking forward to having better, more intentional conversations on the subject with my kids. Thank you, both of you!
One of my favorite livestream guests to date! Thank you for the introduction to Elizabeth and her ministry! This is invaluable! Thank you for sharing your zeal and helping equip us parents with truth! My family thanks you both!
I didn't get to watch this live, but am watching the replay right now and WOW! This is great! Thank you so much for helping me know how to talk to my grandchildren about this stuff!! Great show!!
Love Elizabeth so much! I purchased her course for my children and I’m learning A TON with them! So grateful for her ministry!!!
Thank you for this! Officially beginning our homeschool journey this coming year. We have already been seeking out solid resources that hold strictly to a Biblical worldview. We’ve been using catechism with our 3 & 5 year olds. I love that this starts in early childhood and I will definitely be adding this to our curriculum because it is so critical to build upon.
Thank you! This was fantastic. I work with children and will be getting this course to be better equipped to help them face the lies of our culture. I appreciate this so much.
This is one of the best things I’ve heard, fully explained all those things you know are wrong or off, but didn’t know how to verbalise! Thanks so much!
Thank you for this collaboration. Elizabeth I am so delighted to see your passion to help equip our children to think critically as they learn to navigate the world through the lens of Scripture. I've purchased your curriculum and I'm so excited to get this started with my kids in the fall. God bless you and your ministry. Thank you Pastor Mike for sharing your platform with Elizabeth.
Such a great video! As a father to a 1 year old I see the state of society and fear for the views that will be pushed on my kid. I've intended to teach about how to critically think, but to find a program set up to do just that is a huge blessing!!!
Thank you for having this guest on your channel. I am a homeschooling mother and this is the curriculum that I have been looking for. This teaching is so important.
This is so good. Elizabeth's practical teacher skills, the exercises are great. Kids (and even adults) are visual, they won't forget those lessons. I'll be sharing this with my entire circle of parents and teacher friends.
Listened to this with my 6yo. He loved the explanations. Thank you for this discipleship.
Thank you, Elizabeth! So many practical ways for teaching children and handling problems that arise from children believing these lies that are inadvertently taught in our society! I’m a mother and a teacher, so I appreciate these rebuttals and suggestions so much! Thank you, Mike, for having her on your show!
Hey Mike and Elizabeth! Maybe you’ll never see this but it is July 1, 2022. I am old and I watch a lot of videos, mostly Christian “-ish“. The information that you are sharing in this video is immensely valuable as I’m sure you know. Grandma‘s and grandpa‘s, moms and dads as well as teachers need to jump on this ASAP. We seem to be losing Christian ground very quickly. I plan to order some information and pass it along to my son so his four-year-old daughter will have a shot at a reasonable life. (I hope Jesus comes and gets us very soon.)
This is so good! The topic of subjective truth is something I talk about with my 9 year old ALL THE TIME! She tends to feel a lot of feelings so I have to remind her that just because she feels it doesn’t mean it’s true.
So these examples on how to get them to truly understand, are so great!
What an eye opener this interview was! I consider myself really grounded on my faith and still I bought some of this lies!
I bought the curriculum and I cannot wait to start educating myself, my son and all kids around me!
May God bless both ministries of Elizabeth Urbanowics and Mike Winger.
Thank you so much for having this, Mike! I’m soon to be a parent and biblically leading her properly is by far my biggest concern.
Objectivity saved me out of Mormonism. My last time attending church I looked around and realized everyone was having a different (self deluded emotional) experience, while I was seeing the uselessness and damaging culture of it. I’d read a lot of ayn rand and practiced objectively in my thought patterns. It changed everything.
What do you believe now?
@@mrsmax3071 in that space of rewiring my brain using objectivity, with no outside noise and influence I determined I still believed in god based on evidence around me. I believe in moral absolutes (not “my truth” and fluidity) and being principled about all things. I CHOOSE to accept Christ. This was 8 years of coming to terms with having left a cult that my family (not husband & kids thankfully) are still trapped in. Thanks to CZcams in 2020, I was finally born again (an experience I can’t deny). I don’t subscribe to any religion, but I find Mike here to be the best there is so far and I learn a lot. My views also best align with Shawn McCraney from Heart of the Matter. He’s exmo, born again and amazing.
@@dm7876 thank you for sharing. I see many ex mormons who have no religious beliefs at all. I admit don't know much about the mormon faith. As for me, I probably fall somewhere under the evangelical Christian umbrella.
@@mrsmax3071 I explored that as well but it’s still divisive and even if their claims are true, it’s not an effective message for outsiders or raising kids to have the us vs. them. I follow Jesus and he did not embrace that other than putting Pharisees in their place.
Wow this was GOD-ordained for me. I’ve been struggling with my older girls with worldview stuff and politics and the whole bit. Definitely looking into her program, too!
I’m so encouraged by knowing we have faithful upstanding ambassadors such as these guys to help us and our children in our faith and walk with God.
May God continue to use your ministry powerfully, protect you from all harm, and bless you beyond imagination 🙏🏻
One time my class had an open discussion about morality in every day life and we started by discussing the definition of "morals". A dictionary was never consulted, it was about what we felt it meant. Even though some people gave conflicting definitions we were collectively told by our teacher we were all correct. The conversation from then on was basically us talking past each other for an hour while the teacher pretended there was deep introspection happening.
This is why it's hard to have conversations with non-believers about basic things like love and justice. How can we have a productive conversation about anything if we don't all agree on what it means?
This is great I love it! Thank you for having her!
She speaks so fast but so clear! 👍
I always love a live on Ps Mike’s channel! Thank you! 🙏🏽♥️
Wow this is so encouraging to know that people like Elizabeth exist and what she has done, what a blessing she is bringing to so many children. Thank you Elizabeth! And thank you Mike for introducing her and her teaching to us.
Thank you Elizabeth for all you are doing. I am 30 years old and I just realized that I've been believing a lie that everyone has their own truth. I'm blessed to have realized this in time to teach and live as an example for my children. Your work is so important for the future! And also Mike thank you you've helped me realize this truth that has changed and saved me.
Wow. I didn't expect to see Elizabeth on my youtube home page! I went to college with her, and my sister-in-law is her best friend. What a great discussion; keep up the great work!
*WONDERFUL VIDEO!!! I think this video was the missing link of my contribution to teach and train my grandchildren the principles and values of the Truth and combat the darkness that is looming over these postmodernist generations.*
Thanks so much Pastor Mike and Elizabeth for this very informative and valuable video. As the parent of two daughters (14 & 10) it’s a struggle to deprogram them from the messages they’re constantly bombarded with telling them they’re perfect and that they are enough. Society frowns upon teaching your children that they’re not perfect and that they shouldn’t just follow their heart, etc. It’s tough to go against the grain and you’ve provided some great tactics to do this in a loving and rational way.
May God continue to bless both of your ministries. 🙏🏻💕
Amazing, thank you for that! With all the sadness going on around us there’s a lot of positive springing up such as this.
Once a friend told me that in his reality, when he died, he was going to be white light speeding through the universe. So I told him, "What if in my reality, when I die, I go to heaven and I find myself speaking to you right there in heaven. Which would be the real you?"
He just looked at me 😂
@Richard Fox TBF neither of these people agree with how you see the world.
This was excellent! I just forwarded it to 5 young mom's I know. Will keep forwarding it as I think of more families!
As a youth pastor for 12+ years. I have heard these things so many times. I strive with all that I am to give them the truth of God’s Word vs. truth of their hearts
This video is so incredibly true. What is shared here is so incredibly important. I'm 66 yes old and I so wish I had seen this when I was a young father. God have blessed me greatly with my children who are Christian. Even still how much more I could have equipped them if I had this insight. Bless you for you ministry & I pray parents would care enough to learn & heed these lessons for their children or grandchildren. !!!!! Grandparents, your job is not over as influencers.
This is SO eye-opening!!! So much truth and wisdom here!!! Thank you VERY much for this wonderful interview!!! And thank you Elizabeth for creating these great resources ❤️
i thank you both for teaching me the very clear difference between what subjective and objective means. as someone so interested in languages, i still didn't have such a clear grasp of the contrast. but Elizabeth, you both made it so clear!! And Mike, i think you facilitated the right dialogue to help navigate your guest to nail that for us, your audience. You make a great team in this video! Thanks a bunch!
Great video with exciting resources!
As someone who recently started helping teach youth and children, this is very exciting! I’ve been appalled at what some of these kids believe and we’ve been at a loss at how to address these issues because most curriculum pretty much tackles things like Bible stories or what to do/how you feel during a specific conflict. They are not equipping us with how to help these kids in this day and age!
Big thanks!
Apparently this woman is not yet married. She has such a beautiful spirit and powerful mind. I hope for her sake and the sake of the future of the church that she meets and marries a godly guy and they have a passel of godly kids who carry this into the next generation. She reminds me of my wife when I first met her. We have raised four kids who are walking with God and married to Christian spouses. Our first grandchild is one and is being raised in the Lord. The covenant family is a beautiful thing! God bless you, Elizabeth. And thank you for your hard work too, Mike.
First: looooove this talk! Second: Psalty was weird but as a kid that grew up with it, the songs stayed with me my whole life. They actually helped with the renewing of my mind. For example: learn to be a servant of all. In the song it gives examples that kids can understand. I looked it back up in the past few years to get an idea of how biblically accurate it was. I was pleasantly surprised. A current cartoon that I'm liking for biblical substance for kids is Owlegories. Anyway, thank you for covering this topic because it's so important!
Even though we taught this to our daughter practically from birth, had her in a good church every week, homeschooled, put her in youth programs, and read the Bible and prayed in our home, she still rejected the faith as soon as she was on her own. The pull of these ideas is very strong, especially to people who want to be subject only to their own authority.
Don’t give up. The seeds you planted may look dead, but God wants them to grow to be a new plant bearing much fruit.
I will be praying for your daughter. I went through this with my daughter for a couple of years. Just keep praying and fasting and speaking truth in love.
I was this girl, like your daughter, and I came back to Jesus because of what my parents taught me about faith as a child. I rebeled heavily until I realized how unhappy and evil this world actually is. God brought me back into his marvellous light. He’s sovereign. Pray without ceasing. This is what my mother did and I became a prodigal daughter and my faith is stronger than ever. He uses it all. Praying for you and your daughter. I have young children too and understand the heartbreak you must feel. But don’t lose hope and pray she comes home. God is so loving and faithful. I know from direct personal experience. 💓
Stages of life. Be patient. Hold firm. Pray she lives a long life to come back around. It often happens when raising their own children. Suddenly worldly things is repulsive once again. I remember the day I heard my daughter singing the lyrics to a song I enjoyed from my hey days and coming out of her sweet little mouth I was jarred into sobriety and said, nope. Time for a change lol❤️❤️❤️
@@kathleen711 What an amazing reply, and I thank you for sharing. Thank you Jesus! I have young children and im SO afraid of this, but i know they will grow and have free will. Its hard for me to accept that they may turn away, but I know its a possibility. It helps hearing others that have come back. I came back at 51 too. Hallelujah!
What an awesome resource. Ive been praying to god to help me teach my child discernment in the face of our culture and this showed up in my recommended videos 🙏 thank you God
I just love this video! I have watched it (listened to it) twice. My kids are grown but I have struggled in my spiritual life due to believing many of these lies. Thank you so much for creating this easy to understand message!
So encouraged by this discussion and loving all the tips and advice for imparting these truths to our kids. I'll be getting the Foundation Worldview curriculum to use with my daughters. Thank you to you both for helping to equip us.
This is awesome! I'm so excited! I brought so many lies about God to adulthood from my childhood. I'm excited to learn!
Thank you for this broadcast, from the bottom of my heart.
This is so awesome. Thank you pastor Mike for inviting Elizabeth on your platform 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I havent watched all the video yet, but I call the "follow yout heart" the disney princess lie.
I got interested in understanding mysticism and gnosticism to understand the symbols. Not to practice, by any means. Its amazing how what you see from the hollywood perspective is a religion. Their symbols and beliefs are paganism as old as time. Most false religions tell the same lie as the serpent in the garden.
Anton Lavey who was a notorious Satanist even said: "In previous centuries, the Church was the great controller, dictating morality, stifling free expression and posing as conservator of all great art and music. Instead we have TV, doing just as good a job at dictating fashions, thoughts, attitudes, objectives as did the Church, using many of the same techniques but doing it so palatably that no one notices."

@@pluckngrit2 sad, it's exactly what were seeing today
@plucking...i qould like to watch lion king again and hear the teaching in that movie. Itz been too long forgotten now.
Also many good movies like Horse Whisperer and many (I'm sure many I'll never see) show adultery and itz okay bcs "feelings". Itz no wonder most unbelievers have little integrity. '"Believers" also. This is a grand undermining of Jesus/Biblical teachings. Actually making the person themselves their god.
@@IzzyNChrist - where do you see this? I must live in some weird intersection of people. I have never heard anyone talk like the strawman statements these "lies" are based off of. I'm guessing this is more coming from Christians who don't like pop-culture and struggle with liking it themselves. I'm sorry, maybe aside from the gender/sex issues, this doesn't really seem like the huge problem this passive aggressive fear mongering is regurgitating.
As a Christian person I believe truth. I will not surrender truth to another person's point if view. However, I will not demand them to believe. Quoting someone GWC Maybe, "A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still"
Yes!! People that dont have grown kids just dont get this!!
Mike Winger and Elizabeth are truly God sent. Im so thankful for the wisdom God has gave you both, truly answered my prayers 🙏💕 Thank you both!
I have a 9 year old and a 5 year old and I was already daunted by the task of showing them by boys the truth as opposed to what the culture teaches. I Thank you for showing us a way to walk through all the different worldviews to find the real one.
God bless you both!
It's kind of funny. I am 29 years old, and I remember being taught how to "defend" myself against the first lie in school. Don't remember what grade, but it was early. We would read short paragraphs, then we would have to pick out the objective facts, and also the subjective opinions. Good stuff.
Yes. They taught us 'fact' / 'opinion' and how to recognize the two. Now that class would be one sentence long:
fact and opinion are synonyms. Next topic.
This is so beautiful, amazing, wonderful, HELPFUL and HOLY! I pray you both can share this with the whole world! (I helped a little by reposting this on my link)
Thank you, Pastor Mike. I have been looking for materials and books to teach my granddaughters, ages 4 and 9, the absolute Truth of God's Word. They are facing such challenges at school and in the world today. After listening to your podcast today I feel that there are resources to empower me to teach them about Jesus Christ and the Bible. God bless you and your ministry!
I think I speak for everyone by saying we thank God for you both and the ministry of teaching you both fearfully steward. I look forward to engaging this resource with my church and family.
So appreciate this. Will be watching repeatedly!
To those criticizing the fact they charge for the curriculum, things cost money. Consider the amount of time and expertise used to create it. We should support Biblical educational materials financially when we can.
Thank you for this message. Taking points down to recite to my teenager.
She has the kindness and expression of a teacher. You can tell she is a beautiful soul.
I dont agree with all of Mike's takes but he always presents it in such a sanguine and calm way, without belittling anyone. I appreciate that so much
