With the advent of the 24-hour news cycle and social media, our kids are exposed to news about mankind's horrific acts of evil more often than ever. From ISIS to cop killings in Dallas, to home-grown acts of terror like Orlando or 9/11, or school shootings like Newtown. We can't totally shelter our kids from this information, so how do we explain these terrible acts of evil to our children? Pastor Evan Goeglein of Faith Lutheran Church in Rogue River, Oregon joins us again to discuss the subject.

Special Guest: Pr. Evan Goeglein
Pastor Evan Goeglein, co-host of Table Talk Radio, joins us again to talk about how we explain to children frightening things like cop killers, school shootings, and terrorism. Pr. Goeglein explains vocation and how a right understanding of the First and Fourth Commandments can provide comfort and an understanding of God's love for us.
The Root of the Problem
Chicago tied a record for shootings and murder that stood for 20 years. The police commissioner there says “Enough is Enough,” and I could not agree more. But at the root of the problem is not guns. It's not poverty. It's not racism. It's sin. And until we find a way to deal with that, there's no stopping it completely.
