I am reading Mama Bear Apologetics right now, and decided I want to try to give these kiddos a bit of a baseline for apologetics. This seems like a good place to start and will hopefully open up some opportunities for discussions with their families as well as in class. I would highly recommend Mama Bear Apologetics by Hillary Morgan Ferrer. It has opened my eyes to so much our kids are facing. And how to talk with them about it.
