About this listen
As Christian parents, it’s easy to assume our children will naturally shine the light of Christ wherever they go—whether on the soccer field, in the classroom, or among friends. But is that a fair expectation? In this episode, we explore what it truly means for kids to “be the light,” looking at Jesus’ own thirty years of preparation before His public ministry. You’ll be challenged to reflect on whether you’re expecting too much, too soon from your children, and encouraged to focus instead on guiding, modeling, and creating space for them to grow in healthy relationships, emotional resilience, and spiritual grounding. This week’s takeaway: take inventory of your expectations, lead with connection, and remember that preparation under your roof is just as valuable as influence in the world.
