When Danielle Grandholm’s daughter was diagnosed with Down syndrome, she and her husband found themselves without adequate support. This experience led them to start Rising Kites, a nonprofit dedicated to helping parents of children with Down syndrome. What began as an unexpected journey became a source of blessing as Danielle witnessed God’s providence and grace throughout the process, demonstrating how God can transform challenges into opportunities to serve others and experience His care.

Are you a Christian educator? If so, I’m guessing you want to do more than just impart knowledge to your students. You want to help them develop genuine faith and a Christian worldview that will shape their character and their life. If this resonates with you, I want to encourage you to check out the “Worldview Formation 101” course from the Colson Educators. This free online course will help you understand the purpose of worldview formation and give you practical steps to craft lesson plans that incorporate the Christian worldview. Even better, it will equip you to foster a school culture where your students’ faith is nourished. You can sign up for “Worldview Formation” today at colsoneducators.org.

 

The Strong Women Podcast is a product of the Colson Center which equips Christians to live out their faith with clarity, confidence, and courage in this cultural moment. Through commentaries, podcasts, videos, and more, we help Christians better understand what’s happening in the world, and champion what is true and good wherever God has called them.  Learn more about the Colson Center here: https://www.colsoncenter.org/
