Hour 1: Raising Resilient Kids
Children need to believe their future is bright. The more disappointments they don’t recover well from, the less likely they are to dream. When they do not process challenging experiences well it can lead to defeat, rather than encourage them to grow and mature. Far too many children don’t grasp their strengths and, as a result do not believe they can overcome negative encounters. Apathy sets in. Discouragement persists. Arguments rage. Mental health suffers. Children need to be resilient and when they develop this ability and make wise choices it becomes part of their character. Furthermore, they need parents who help them to learn from negative experiences and who allow them a certain measure of struggle. Today our guest will teach us about the power and purpose of resilience and help us discover how to parent so as to make it more likely our children will utilize this character quality.
Hour 2: What You Don’t Know About Marijuana
More and more states, as well as some in the federal government, are pushing to decriminalize the use of marijuana for “recreational” use but are these efforts dangerous? Join us as we learn more about this plant and how we should approach this issue as Christians. Get ready to think biblically and critically.
