Episode notes
Ground Children In The Story Of God
- Ground your family in the story of God rather than the world's headlines to cultivate bodily peace in your home.
- Practice personal rhythms (pauses, prayer, phone limits) so your calm presence transmits security to your children.
Use Story To Teach About Evil
- Use age-appropriate stories to introduce the reality of evil and the warlike setting of the world.
- Reframe frightening events as part of the love story set in a world at war and show how Jesus wins.
