Made Like Me: Teaching our children who they really are – with Jen Wilkin

After years of trying, we have finally got author, Bible teacher, and theological heavyweight Jen Wilkin as our guest!

Riffing off her new children's book, Made Like Me, Jen takes us back to the beginning in Genesis 2 to uncover that while the Bible tells us men and women are different, it loudly celebrates our shared humanity and the beautiful gift of friendship.

Tune in as we chat about…
Cherishing Friendship: Practical ways to push past sibling rivalry and help our boys and girls value each other as teammates, classmates, and lifelong best friends.
Fighting Parenting Cynicism: How to reject the selfish "if I expect little, I won't be disappointed" mindset and confidently expect to see the goodness of the Lord in our homes.
Communion Over Individualism: Teaching our children that they are part of something bigger than themselves.

Whether you are surviving on snacks with toddlers, managing a complex blended family, or parenting teenagers, this episode covers it all! Your home can be a safe place for your kids to fail, exhale and be fully known.
