Lee unpacks how parents can recognize when their child is ready to make that decision, how to have meaningful conversations about salvation, and how to walk alongside them with confidence and grace. The conversation explores the importance of creating a gospel-centered home where questions are welcomed and faith grows naturally through everyday moments.
