“How do I talk to my kids about this?”

It’s the question every parent is asking right now. When tragedy strikes, do we shield our children to protect their innocence or share enough truth to prepare them for reality?

In this episode, Christy-Faith tackles the hard questions parents are facing in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder. From toddlers to teens, she shares age-appropriate ways to respond with both courage and care. You’ll learn how to protect your children from unnecessary trauma, equip them with faith and truth, and foster meaningful conversations about free speech and freedom in America.

This is not about raising fragile kids; it’s about raising resilient ones who are rooted in safety, family, and faith.
