Talking to Kids About… Illness with Guest Jason Heron
We’re kicking off a new Faith in Parents series on the hardest topics parents face – the conversations we’re often told to avoid. In this first episode, we talk about illness.
Jason shares his family’s story of unexpected premature birth, long months in NICU, and years of medical uncertainty… and what it’s like to keep trusting Jesus when there’s no quick fix or clear end in sight. Together, we reflect on crisis, perseverance, prayer that changes over time, and how to talk honestly with our children when life is scary and unfair.
This is a gentle, hopeful conversation for parents in the thick of it (and for those walking alongside them), reminding us that God is near, even when the questions are loud and the answers feel far away.
Jason is the Digital Lead at Faith in Kids and Co-Hosts The Parenting Tools Podcast
