Faith in Real Life | Faith in My Family (pt 1)
What can a 2000 year old book really have to say to our modern lives? A lot, as it turns out.

In this Faith in Real Life series, Rechurch will look at how the Bible can impact us on a very practical level. Today, Hamish Taylor looks at faith in our parenting.
