Sheltered Kids Cave. Tested Kids Stand Firm.

Will your kids stand up for Jesus when it costs them something? Many kids raised in Christian homes truly believe, but when the pressure comes, they stay quiet. In this episode, we talk about why protecting your children isn't enough, and how to give them real experiences standing firm for their faith before they leave your home. We start by defining what persecution is (and what it isn't), then talk about the balance between protecting your kids and building their resilience. From there, we share three things every family can do to raise children with courageous faith, including stories from our own family. In this episode: • What persecution is, and what it's not (1 Peter 4:14–16) • The balance between protecting your kids and building resilience • How to encourage courage in your family: be it, coach it, and keep growing (1 Corinthians 11:1) • Doing things that take courage, even when they attract persecution (1 Samuel 17:34–37) • Ridding your family of people-pleasing and the fear of man (John 12:42–43) 🔔 Subscribe for more episodes on raising faith-filled kids in a hostile culture. 📖 Get the Courageous Parenting book: becourageousministry.org/book 🤝 Companies we love and use: Previnex vitamins the Tolpins use and love, get 15% off using code CP15 at previnex.com REDEEM™ HealthShare from Samaritan Ministries: https://hubs.ly/Q04n6bxv0 CTC Math: https://ctcmath.com/
