Today, on the podcast we're continuing our series 12 Cries of a Child's Heart by talking about the need of assimilation. Our kids want to be connected to the world around them. They want to belong. It's this belonging that helps them discover who they are and how God has wired them. Ultimately, connecting to those around them sets them up for a productive and meaningful life. Parents must provide wisdom so kids know how and with whom to connect.

We all have this innate tendency to label things. It's part of what makes us human. One of the first jobs given to man in the Garden of Eden was that of labeling all the creatures he found around himself.

Today, Tom and Matt discuss the breakdown of public discourse and the proliferation of destructive labels within our culture.
