Are you raising resilient kids in a fear-driven world? In this powerful FamilyLife Today episode, hosts Dave and Ann Wilson join Dr. Kathy Cook, founder of Celebrate Kids, to equip Christian parents with the tools to foster true resilience in their children—and themselves—through a biblical lens. Why do kids struggle with perseverance and risk-taking? Discover how well-intentioned overprotective parenting, from “”helicopter”” to “”lawnmower”” styles, can actually hinder growth. Kathy shares eye-opening insights on the importance of allowing natural consequences (yes, even a bad grade or spilled milk!) to build character and faith, drawing wisdom from scriptures like James 1:2–4 and Romans 5:3–5.

We live in a cultural moment where the definition of "woman" eludes the keenest of thinkers and brightest of scientists, where one’s biological sex and one’s gender are divorced, where the meaning of gender itself is a constantly moving target, and where girls and women, especially, struggle to know who they are. Where societal confusion has naturally ensued from this state of affairs, and Christians especially wonder how to think and respond to it, Katie McCoy will offer a clear and helpful guide to understanding why, as a culture, we’ve arrived in such a place of gender confusion and what Scripture and science have to say on the matter. Join us for a compassionate and timely conversation.

Today on Bold Steps with Pastor Mark Jobe, we’re learning how to be clear and confident about God’s call for our life. God places a call on everyone’s life … so why do some people understand their purpose right away … while it takes other people a long time to get the revelation? As we move forward in our series called When You Believe … Everything Changes, Mark will be taking us to the book of Ephesians, chapter 3 to explain The Secret to Freedom and Confidence.
