Discussion Questions:

How does the "mama bear" instinct manifest itself in your life as a parent? In what ways do you feel the responsibility to protect your children physically, emotionally, and spiritually?

What are your thoughts on the "ROAR" method - recognize the message, offer objective discernment, argue for a healthier approach, and reinforce through discussion, discipleship, and prayer? How practical do you find this method in equipping children to face the challenges of the world?

Hillary mentioned the importance of recognizing the message behind various forms of media such as movies, songs, and literature. Can you share an example of when you recognized a subtle message in a media content that you initially didn't notice?

In what ways can parents effectively offer objective discernment, especially when it comes to discussing challenging or controversial topics with their children?

Reflect on Hillary's point about separating the good from the bad in various forms of content. How do you ensure that your children are equipped to discern between truth and lies, especially in the media they consume?

How do you currently reinforce discussions, discipleship, and prayer in your family's approach to addressing cultural and societal influences on your children?

How do you prioritize teaching and training your children as opposed to sheltering and hiding them from the challenges of the world? What practical steps can you take to ensure that your children are not only surviving but thriving in their environment while maintaining their faith and values?
