Summary
Do you ever get overwhelmed with how to talk to your young kids about hard topics? I have been there. And sometimes, I actually disengage or ignore important topics because it feels too hard. I don’t want to say the wrong thing at the wrong time.
Diversity is one of those topics that matters. It matters to God and it matters to me. Trillia Newbell is the perfect guest for this conversation. She was looking for a resource to guide her discussions with our own kids and couldn’t find it. So, she wrote “God’s Very Good Idea” to center the discussion of diversity around the gospel.Â
In this chat, we also discuss another hard topic with our kids -Â bullying and loneliness. We talk about the importance of friendship for our kids and how we can turn our kids to Jesus in these moments.
My favorite part is when Trillia reminds us that the teaching is coming. Either culture is going to teach our kids or we need to get ahead of that messaging. It’s so very important that we frame tough topics with a biblical point of view and Trilia helps us do that so well.
In this episode, we discuss:
- How to teach our kids about diversity from a biblical perspectiveÂ
- How to discern between bullying and unkindnessÂ
- How to invite God into your loneliness Â
