Our world today is increasingly unanchored, where young people are constantly told by their

peers, by their schools, by the entertainment industry, that they need to define themselves,

that they need to give their own lives meaning and purpose.

And yet this lack of an anchored understanding of who they are given to them first

and foremost by a loving God has contributed to the rise in anxiety and depression and confusion

that many young people struggle with in our culture. In my conversation today, I'm speaking with

Christina Fox about kids' need for a strong sense

of identity, rooted in an understanding of God as our Creator, sustainer, and Redeemer.

In an age that focuses more on achievement and self-determination than dependence and humility

before God, Christina wants to help parents teach their kids

the beauty of knowing our creator

and seeking to fulfill his purposes for us

as beloved children.

Christina Fox works as the assistant director

of alumni relations at Covenant College.

She's also the author of a new picture book
