In a world where Christian values are constantly challenged, how can parents equip their children to stand strong? In this eye-opening episode of Christian Parent/Crazy World, host Catherine lays out seven powerful strategies to help parents and their kids navigate cultural conversations with both confidence and grace.

The key? Engaging the culture without losing our witness. Catherine reminds parents that being right should never come at the expense of being Christlike. With a heart of love and compassion, she unpacks how to guide children in speaking truth boldly—without resorting to fear or division.

How to Engage with Our Culture:

🔥 Define Your Terms: Words matter. When definitions shift, entire worldviews change. Catherine shares a striking example from a Supreme Court hearing to illustrate why precise language is crucial.

Question Everything: Teaching kids to think critically is vital. From history to politics to science, fostering a healthy sense of inquiry protects them from blindly accepting narratives at face value.

🏷️ Challenge Labels—Don’t Cancel People: In today’s culture, labels often determine who gets heard and who gets dismissed. But Jesus engaged with those society rejected, and we should do the same.

💡 Confront Lies with Truth: The truth always outlasts the lie. Catherine explores why censorship isn’t the answer for Christians and how to equip kids to discern and defend truth in a world of misinformation.

🛍️ Use Boycotts Strategically: Boycotts can be a tool for standing up for values—but only if used wisely. Catherine breaks down when and how to engage in ethical consumer choices without falling into reactionary cancel culture.

🔍 Go to the Source: Don’t rely on second-hand opinions—dig into the original material. A real-life example involving misrepresented legislation reveals why direct access to primary sources is essential.

This episode is packed with practical wisdom and biblical insight, equipping parents to raise kids who won’t just survive today’s culture—but who will stand strong and shine in it.
