168. Teaching Kids to Disagree and Still Be Friends

Our guest, Elizabeth Urbanowicz, is the founder of Foundation Worldview – a comparative worldview curriculum for kids and teens.

ELIZABETH URBANOWICZ is a follower of Jesus who is passionate about equipping kids to understand the truth of the biblical worldview. Elizabeth spent the first decade of her professional career teaching elementary students at a Christian school.
