What Christian Homeschoolers Need to Know about Climate Change | 89

Hi Homeschool mom!
Are you raising your kids to stand on the foundation of the truths of salvation with Jesus? Do you question the current trend of discussions around climate change and our need to save the planet? Is it confusing and overwhelming to talk to your kids about this in light of God’s good plan, let alone add it into your homeschool science plans? 
Be enlightened! In this episode we share details about what the Bible really says about climate change. We use Answers In Genesis book “Climate Change for Kids and Parents, too!” by Ken Ham and Jessica DeFord to explain what you need to know to help you confidently teach your kids about God’s plan for our planet.
We pray this brings clarity to the world’s burdensome message that we must “Save the Planet”.❤️
God bless,
Kim and Jenny
