In this episode of the 226 FBC Boerne Next Gen Podcast, Daniel and Teresa dive into one of the most critical aspects of a child's development—identity. As kids enter the later elementary years (4th & 5th grade), they begin forming beliefs about who they are, where they belong, and what gives them value. But in a world full of shifting messages and pressures, how can parents help their children find their worth in something unshakable?

This episode unpacks:
✅ Why identity is the bridge between childhood and adolescence in the NextGen Roadmap
✅ The five common identity idols (IDOLS: Items, Duties, Others, Longings, Suffering) that can shape how kids see themselves
✅ How culture fuels anxiety by pushing kids to define themselves by their achievements, friendships, or social status
✅ Practical ways parents can combat identity struggles with biblical truth
✅ How to use Ephesians 1:3-14 as a foundation for helping kids understand who they are in Christ

If you’ve ever felt the tension between what the world says about your child’s worth versus what God says, this episode will encourage and equip you with tools to speak truth into your child's life.

Tune in now and learn how to help your child build an identity that is secure, unshakable, and rooted in Christ!
