When fear runs in families, faith can too.
In this powerful episode, Heather O'Brien sits down with Mallory Hayward — twin mom, children's ministry director at V1 Church, and contributing author to Fire Starters — to talk about what it really looks like to raise Spirit-led children in today's world.

You'll hear how Mallory helps kids recognize God's voice over fear and shame, and how the same prophetic principles that heal adults can bring freedom to the next generation. Together, they unpack the simple rhythms that build everyday revival in your home — without pressure, performance, or perfection.

If you're longing to break generational patterns and release a prophetic legacy, this conversation will spark something fresh in your spirit.

You'll gain:

• How to recognize when fear—not faith—is driving your parenting or leadership

• Practical ways to help your kids hear God's voice for themselves

• The real link between forgiveness, discernment, and deliverance in family healing

• What it means to model "everyday revival" as a lifestyle, not a ministry event

• Encouragement to break the cycles of shame and walk confidently in God's calling
