Summary

Courage is lacking in our culture today as we see in the church and conservative politicians on a daily basis. My good friend Kathy Koch is joining me to discuss the critical role of courage in today's culture, especially in the context of parenting and raising resilient children. We’re defining courage and highlighting practical strategies for teaching courage to children, including the significance of parental examples and specific affirmations. It is critical to demonstrate intentional listening, courage, faith, and worship in parenting so our kids see it modeled in real life. The example we set will have a generational impact!
