Your kid just asked a question about God you weren't ready for. Don't panic — how you respond can either push them away or draw them closer.
In this episode, author Cathy Colver Garland shares the exact response that kept her from walking away from faith as a teenager — and how to answer your child's hardest questions in an age-appropriate way.
In this conversation, you'll discover:
⏱️ The #1 mistake parents make when their kids question faith
⏱️ How to model authentic faith — not perfect faith
⏱️ How to answer hard questions by age: little kids, teens, and young adults
⏱️ How to help your child replace negative self-talk with biblical truth
Plus, host Mick Wienholt opens up about his own prodigal child story — walking away from God, and being drawn back at 31 through the loss of his firstborn son.
