The guest from episode six sent the search for how to give families a faith that lasts in a new trajectory, leaving host, Jake McCandless, scrambling. It had been established we need to give our children a greater story. Asking his literary agent, what makes a great story, Cyle Young shared that it was conflict. This has left Jake considering how we should bring this understanding of conflict into the Christian parenting realm. In the previous episode, Jake shared how that when it comes to dealing with conflict, American believers are at a disadvantage. In this episode, Jake shares that whether we realize it or not we’re all in a great conflict. In this overarching conflict there is no neutral. As parents we can’t go on autopilot. We can’t be passive. Our children are already in a story—one in which there is no neutral.
