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:
