  • 199: Kids Can Do Hard Things (But Not Alone): 3 Keys to Changing Your Family Culture in 2026
    Dec 31 2025

    As Christmas break stretches on and a new year approaches, many parents feel worn down frustrated by screens, messes, and constant resistance. If that’s you, you’re not failing… and you’re not alone.

    In this New Year’s episode of The Way of Valor, Angie Taylor offers hope and clarity for parents who want more than behavior management. This conversation is about formation how daily practices, expectations, and leadership shape your child’s character and the culture of your home.

    The core truth of this episode is simple and powerful:
    Kids can do hard things but they can’t do them alone.

    When parents are willing to do hard things first, everything begins to change.

    In this episode, Angie shares:

    • Why most parenting struggles are formation problems, not discipline problems
    • How unchallenged behaviors slowly become normalized in your home
    • Why avoiding hard things now makes parenting harder later
    • How perseverance, discipline, and even discomfort produce maturity—biblically and practically
    • Why kids’ understanding of authority and God is deeply shaped by their parents

    A Simple Goal for 2026:

    Don’t overhaul everything. Start small.

    Choose one goal: We are going to learn to do hard things.

    Begin with yourself your spiritual health, physical health, and willingness to take responsibility. Over time, hard things become habits you love, and those habits transform your family culture.

    When parents lead with courage and consistency, kids learn they can do hard things with support, purpose, and faith.

    In this inspiring episode, host Angie Taylor sits down with Tamela Davis, founder of The F Word and wife of New Orleans Saints linebacker Demario Davis, to talk about the beauty of faith-filled living, raising a family grounded in purpose, and walking authentically with God in a culture obsessed with image and influence.

    • The difference between religion and relationship with God
    • What it means to steward influence with humility in a culture of fame
    • The heart and intentionality behind homeschooling six children
    • Why God is teaching her to see herself as worthy of the same love and grace she pours out to others

    This episode is a beautiful reminder for every woman, mom, and believer that your story is for His glory and that caring for yourself is part of honoring the God who made you.
