In this clip Randy answers the question: When a child experiences death and loss, is that a good time to begin a conversation about Heaven?

In this clip Randy explains to Greg Laurie why he invites kids to have their parents take them on an excursion to the junk yard? He answers: Why does investing in eternity matter? Why should Christians be generous in this life?

In this clip from his conversation with Greg Laurie, Randy answers the questions: What is Heaven? Where is Heaven? Most importantly, how do we get to Heaven?

In this clip Randy and Greg Laurie discuss the question "How do we train young minds to see Heaven as real? Will this book help kids understand that Heaven is real?"

Randy Alcorn and Greg Laurie (senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship) had a conversation about Randy’s book Heaven for Kids. They talk about everything from whether Heaven will be boring, to training young minds about Heaven, to hamburgers. Don’t miss this fun discussion!

I think this article by Abigail Dodds is wonderful. Having raised two daughters, I’m deeply grateful for our sons-in-law, and their families who raised them to be men of character and faith. And now Angela and Karina are the moms of our five grandsons, who they are raising to know and love Jesus.

Training our children about money and possessions begins at birth (Proverbs 22:6). For better or worse, we are their tutors, every hour of every day. Albert Schweitzer put it this way: “There are only three ways to teach a child. The first is by example; the second is by example; the third is by example.”

Sharing honestly with our children about our weaknesses and our need for God’s strength can teach them a great deal, as our friend Vaneetha Rendall Risner so beautifully explains in this powerful article. She writes, “Parenting through weakness can bring God glory. As we rely on God and his grace, he shines through our lives.”

In September Randy spoke over Zoom with Steve Silver of Men’s Golf Fellowship. Having both lost their wives during the last year, they shared grief experiences and spoke about Heaven and the great hope it holds.
