  • 180: How to Raise Gritty, God-Centered Kids in a Self-Absorbed World
    May 5 2025

    Send us a text

    As a mom, educator, and follower of Christ, I know how overwhelming it can feel to raise kids in a culture that promotes comfort over courage and entitlement over service. In this episode of The Way of Valor, I share part two of a deep and practical series on raising a generation of culture-shifting kids. We talk candidly about the influence of faith, discomfort, and global perspective in shaping young people into resilient leaders who know who they are—and whose they are.

    I unpack real-world parenting challenges—how to navigate your child's anxiety without enabling it, how to shift from creating comfort to building strength, and why mission-based living transforms not only your child’s mindset but your family’s legacy. With over 30 years in education and as the founder of Valor Global Foundation, I’ve seen firsthand how gospel-rooted parenting changes lives—not just at home but around the world.

    This episode is for parents, mentors, and anyone who believes the next generation can do more than survive—they can thrive with purpose. If you've ever questioned whether your voice, your parenting, or your mission matters, this conversation will remind you: God doesn’t call the equipped, He equips the called.
