We're the most over-parented generation in history, yet woundedness and estrangement keep rising. Psychotherapist Matthias Barker explains why: even loving acts, when driven by fear instead of trust, land on kids as pressure. A question feels like interrogation, concern feels like judgment. Barker walks through how this plays out across generations and what it takes for parents to move past their own defenses and truly see their child's heart.

This week, we'll listen in on a past breakout session about navigating our hypersexualized culture with insight from Nala Ray, Joshua Broome, and Rorisang Thandekiso. We live in a time where pornography is hard to avoid instead of hard to find. That's why it's so important to guard our hearts and minds; this world is saturated with sexual temptation, but that's not the lifestyle God has for us. Listen to how these speakers grappled with their hypersexualized lifestyle and, ultimately, found peace and purity in Jesus.

This week, we're sharing a past breakout session about navigating crisis with insight from David Middlebrook and Lawrence Swicegood. We live in a time where it's not a matter of if a crisis hits your church or organization, but when, and how you respond can shape everything that follows.

That's why it's so important to prepare ahead of time; this world offers no airtight plan, but that's not a reason to face crisis without wisdom. Listen to how these leaders unpack the courts of public opinion and law, and, ultimately, how thoughtful preparation leads to peace and clarity in the middle of the storm.
