Listen Later

School safety drills. News alerts. Lockdowns. As parents, it’s no wonder we lie awake at night wondering if our kids are truly safe.


In this powerful and compassionate episode, Christy-Faith addresses the fear every parent feels but few talk about out loud: the fear that school is no longer the safest place for our children. From the rise in school shootings to silent threats like bullying, anxiety, and emotional trauma, Christy brings the facts, the heart, and the hope parents need right now.
