In today's episode, we continue our conversation from last week about letting kids do things on their own to help build their confidence, and boy, were people mad, so we had to revisit the topic. After all, we want to encourage bravery, not paranoia, in our children. We also talk about whether parents should allow their kids to attend sleepovers or not, and our consensus might surprise you. Also, we're discussing the leaked training video out of Andy Stanley's North Point Community Church for youth group leaders about "transgender" youth in middle school and how they ought to respond. Spoiler alert: It's not biblical. And is the White House going too far with its bizarre social media messaging about deportations? Or is it just capitalizing on trending memes?
