Episode notes

This is the first of a number of episodes focusing on child raising in and around Christianity. Author and journalist Bekah McNeel joins me today to discuss her book "Bringing up Kids When Church Lets You Down: A Guide for Parents Questioning Their Faith." Bekah says, "we need to see our children as people with emotional realities and needs, and how we communicate love has to take that into account." We focus on parental humility, attachment wounds, faith assumptions, and widening who gets to participate in the biblical dialogue.
