Helping your kids make brave, God-led choices

In this episode, Emily talks about the two kinds of kids we often see—those who say yes to everything out of FOMO, and those who avoid every invitation out of fear. Whether your child never wants to miss out or never wants to join in, both patterns are rooted in fear. And the solution isn’t pushing them into or out of activities…it’s teaching them to ask one powerful question: “Jesus, where do You want me right now?”

Emily shares practical ways to anchor your children’s decision-making in God’s voice—not pressure, fear, or comfort. From birthday parties and sports practices to everyday invitations, she gives real examples of what it looks like to pause, ask, listen, and obey. You’ll hear stories from her own family, including a surprising moment when God told them to turn around on the way to practice, and a powerful testimony of obedience that literally saved a man’s life.

If you want to equip your kids to follow God with courage, wisdom, and discernment—whether the world is pulling them in or their fear is holding them back—this episode will show you how to start today.
