Summary
In this epiode, Jerrad reflects on how anxiety has become a norm in modern parenting—and what Jesus has to say about it. He shares honest stories about mental health, stress, and the lies we believe when we try to control everything. Through Scripture and personal loss, he walks through a better way of thinking, feeling, and leading your family. Jesus didn’t just say “stop worrying.” He invited us to consider the ravens.
