As parents, we all want to raise kids who can recognize truth, love what's good, and stand firm in a world that often feels confusing or apathetic. In this episode of the Upside-Down Parenting Podcast, hosts Matt Jones and Janel Greig talk with global children's advocate Katy Faust about how ordinary moms and dads can find their voice and confidently lead their families.

Katy shares her inspiring journey from being an anonymous blogger to becoming the Founder and President of Them Before Us, a movement dedicated to protecting children's rights. Her story shows that you don't need a platform—you just need conviction and a willingness to speak up.

In this conversation, we explore:

• Why kids need more than love and safety—they need both their mom and dad

• How to talk with your kids about cultural messages that contradict biblical truth

• Practical ways to push past fear, self-doubt, or criticism as a parent

• The most important thing you can do to help your children stand boldly for truth

• Encouragement for parents who feel overwhelmed, unsure, or alone

You'll also get to know Katy through a fun rapid-fire round that highlights the habits and influences that shape her own family life.

If you're a parent wanting to raise confident, grounded kids in today's world, this episode will give you clarity, courage, and hope.
