Today I’m joined by Kyle Worley, and we’re breaking down what it actually means to have union with Christ and anchor our children’s identity in God in the middle of a world full of noise, confusion, and competing worldviews.  

Here’s what you’ll hear in today's conversation:

• Understanding our connection to God through Jesus gives kids a steady anchor in a shifting world.  
• Kyle explains how we can teach our kids that faith is about relationship, not just rules.  
• A solid identity in Christ shapes how we parent, how our kids see themselves, and how they respond to the world.  
• You don’t have to be a theologian—Kyle shares practical tips and resources to bring these truths into everyday family life.  

Kyle Worley is a pastor, theologian, and co-host of the Knowing Faith podcast. He’s passionate about helping families and churches understand deep theological truths in accessible ways, especially when it comes to teaching kids the beauty of the Gospel and their identity in Christ.  

This episode is packed with truth and encouragement. Whether theology feels natural to you or totally intimidating, I know you’ll leave feeling more equipped to guide your kids toward a deep, lasting relationship with Jesus.
