She wants her teenage readers to understand that God's design for male and female really is good news, that sexuality does not equal identity, and that the narrative of creation, fall, and redemption sweeps us into the great story of Jesus.

In this episode of the Rooted Parent Podcast, Cameron and Anna urge parents to talk to their children about heaven. It's helpful to have these conversations throughout our everyday lives, so that we are not just explaining what the Bible says about heaven when a loved one (or a pet) dies. In this episode, Cameron and Anna break down the what, the why, and the how of having these important spiritual conversations.
"I do think there is something we can learn from kids... hear these stories."

In this special episode of the Rooted Parent podcast, Cameron and Anna discuss Cameron's new book Heavenward: How Eternity Impacts Your Life on Earth. In particular, how does a biblical view of heaven impact how you parent your children? For parents who have a child in heaven, you'll find the same comfort Cole found in the writing of Paul. For parents whose children are on earth, you'll discover how a heavenward view will lend depth and richness to your view of raising your children.
"Eternity sheds light on the finitude of this life, and it forces us to be intentional."

Tune in to a fascinating conversation where host Cameron Cole interviews author Samuel James about his new book, Digital Liturgies: Rediscovering Christian Wisdom in an Online Age. You'll want to hear his discussion of "content vs. form"; "software vs. hardware," prompting us to ask the question: how is the technology itself- not just the content we view- shaping our loves, our views of what life should be like?
"The internet is a major secular liturgy."

In this episode, Cameron and Anna are excited to sit down with guest Collin Hansen of The Gospel Coalition.

He invites us to trust God, but also to be informed and make wise decisions to protect our children. You won't want to miss this episode!
"It's easy in these conversations to come across as analog or Amish, and that might be a good decision for a lot of people, but it's about learning to control those things so that they don't control you, to use them so they don't use you, and to understand that there are people who get paid a lot more money than you do, who are a lot smarter than any of us, who are trying to grab that attention, that we have to demand to grab back."
