61. Christ Over Chaos: A Kingdom Response to Culture Wars, Politics, and Polarization

Hey friends—this episode is personal. And honestly… it’s been a long time coming.

I’ve sat quietly and watched the Church, our culture, and even our families get pulled apart by politics, performance-based Christianity, and culture wars dressed up as “truth.” I’ve wrestled with what to say—and when to say it. But today? I’m done staying silent.

In this episode, I’m talking about what it means to follow Jesus in the middle of the chaos. Not Jesus wrapped in a flag. Not Jesus turned into a political pawn. But Jesus the Lamb—full of grace and truth.

I’m sharing a raw story from my own life that broke my heart and opened my eyes. I’m naming the patterns I see—blame, pride, bullying in the name of boldness—and I’m calling us back to something deeper. Something Kingdom.

We’ll talk about:

• Why culture wars are discipling our kids more than we are

• How the Happy Kid Toolkit equips families to respond with emotional responsibility and Christlike discernment

• What’s really missing in our political and cultural conversations

• How to raise kids who love both truth and people—even when it’s messy

This episode isn’t about choosing a side. It’s about choosing Jesus—again and again.

So if you’ve felt caught in the middle… if you’re tired of the noise… if you’re desperate for clarity, peace, and a better way forward—press play.

Let’s talk about what it means to be set apart in a world tearing itself apart. Let’s follow Christ over chaos—together.

xoxo,

Danielle
