Parenting in the You do You Era: Ep8

Season 3, episode 8: "Parenting in the You Do You Era."

This episode is our attempt at re-focusing parenting on raising disciples of Jesus.

To that end, we draw from parenting "fails" that stem from the junk values of the YDYE, and ultimately encourage Christian parents to help their children see themselves in God's story. Helping our kids see themselves in God's story allows us to  help them "figure out who they are and what they want" in light of their identity as a child of God.
