The Intentional Parents Podcast Breaking Generational Patterns, Safety in Parenthood, Transforming Parenting Trauma + Raising Secure Children (Interview with Michael Handler)
We have Michael Handler, the Chief Innovation Officer at Awana, on today's show. Brook and Michael talked about becoming emotionally healthy and safe parents when this was not the model they grew up knowing. Michael reminds us that Christ is in the business of redeeming our stories and how God often uses our children in this formation process. In this conversation, you will hear about how multigenerational churches are a gift, how it's essential, to be honest about your story while honoring your parents, how our children can be a mirror to help us gain understanding, how hurt can become our identity, how we can give our children safety even if we never experienced it and how when we bring our children safety God can use it to provide us with the safety we may not have received. Enjoy!
