Recent estimates place the frequency of adult lying from between 20 and 200 lies per day, says webinar speaker Lou Priolo. Imagine what the statistics are for children! Do you have a child who tends to cover up the truth, habitually tells blatant tall tales, or fails to act in a straightforward manner? Join author, lecturer, father, and experienced biblical family counselor Lou Priolo for biblical help and hope! Whether it’s bearing false witness or simple exaggeration, there is much to say in the Bible about the matter of deception. Did you know that the Bible actually mentions dozens of varieties of lies? Forthright and compassionate, Lou will assist you in identifying your child’s unique style of lying and offer solid biblical solutions to help him or her both “lay aside falsehood” and become a habitual “speaker of the truth.”

In an age and culture of “pop-psychology”, technology, and text-messaging, do you find your children’s language is undergoing a transformation that has become increasingly world-centered? What are they saying with their words, voice inflection, and body language? Do you wish you could find practical ways to help them become more Christ-centered in their communication?

Join Lou Priolo for “A Crash Course on Biblical Communication” to learn how God has put believers in the “communication business” of testifying to His mercy and grace in our lives and how our speech can be either a powerful witness or a hindrance to the furtherance of the gospel. God is intimately concerned about how His people communicate, not only with each other, but also with unbelievers. Discover what He says in Scripture about communication and learn how to apply insightful biblical examples and instruction in a life-changing way in your family.
