Interview Introduction

My name is Dr. John Street. I have a great passion for biblical counseling and seeing people become very familiar with using the Word of God daily in terms of practical living. I have the opportunity to be with Mike Riggs. Mike, and his wife, Carolyn, are responsible for a ministry called Lamp & Quill Bible Curriculum. I’m very excited about this curriculum because it is designed to help parents, children, churches, across the board, really integrate the Word of God into daily life.

Interview Questions

• How do you see this material being used by biblical counselors who routinely work with serious soul problems?
• How does the material get at a child’s heart issues not just changing behavior but changing their hearts?
• How do you help parents who are unskilled or don’t know how to train their children biblically?
• What significant factors do you think influence the lack of parent-child discipleship?
• What are some other contributing factors for the lack of parent-child discipleship?
• How have you seen these materials be effective in terms of God’s Word in their lives?
