How do you teach your children to develop a strong sense of who they are and what they're meant to be? In this episode of the Parenting Great Kids podcast, Dr. Meg Meeker chats with George Barna about the vital role of discipling children. As a renowned figure in faith and research, Barna shares his compelling insights on intentional and proactive parenting, shedding light on the surprising lack of a biblical perspective among both parents and church leaders. His expertise and research-backed findings provide valuable guidance and a fresh perspective on how parents can foster a deep sense of identity and purpose in their kids.  Today’s Guest George Barna, Professor at Arizona Christian University, heads its Cultural Research Center. He's also Sr. Research Fellow at Family Research Council Center for Biblical Worldview and a Fellow at the Townsend Institute at Concordia University. As founder of The Barna Group, he conducted pioneering research on worldview, cultural transformation, ministry applications, spiritual development, and politics. He's advised hundreds of parachurch ministries, thousands of Christian churches, the U.S. military, Fortune 500 companies, and four presidential candidates. With 58 books on social and religious trends, leadership, church dynamics, and cultural transformation, including bestsellers and award-winning titles translated into many languages, his impact is profound.
