Q: Hey Debra, you always say that what you believe about yourself determines the kind of relationships you believe you deserve…how do I help my kids begin to establish a healthy identity?

So much of our identity is formed and shaped in our childhood years — and what we do, and say, and teach as parents matters.

How do you begin to help your kids see themselves as God sees them? Fight off the cultural lies? Feel confident in who they are? Build a healthy identity?

Today, my good friend and amazing podcaster, Jamie Ivey — joins me for this important conversation. Jamie is a mother of four amazing kids, in the thick of their teen years. I loved chatting with her about this concept, and even if you don’t have kids, I think this important conversation will get you thinking about your own childhood and the things that shaped your healthy identity along the way.
