So I wanted you to come today and share with us a little bit about what you're seeing and how you feel like this is actually an attack on young families and our young children.

I've really given a lot of thought and a lot of, I guess, observation.
3:43
And I really think what we have to understand is that there really is a war in our culture on children.
3:51
I don't think that we stop and think about that too often, but there is a war in our culture for the hearts and minds of our children because of what's going on in our culture and because of the fact that we are so controlled by social media and technology.

But I think we have to go all the way back to almost the beginning and realize that there was a war in heaven.
