In this episode, Emily unpacks the deeper heart issue behind kids (and adults) who always have to be right. It’s not defiance — it’s identity. When a child fights correction, shuts down, or argues endlessly, it often reveals a fear that being wrong makes them unlovable. Emily shares how parents can respond with the heart of the Father, teaching kids they are loved whether they’re right or wrong, and helping them grow into teachable, connected, and confident children rooted in God’s unconditional love.

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.

In this episode, Emily shares a gentle reminder for the days that don’t go as planned—especially when quiet time gets skipped, mornings get messy, and life feels full. She unpacks why God isn’t asking us to perfectly “put Him first,” but instead invites us to let Him be the center our whole lives turn around. From newborn seasons to dishes in the sink to carpool lines, Emily shows how every moment becomes sacred when we do it with Him. This conversation will help you release the guilt, embrace grace, and remember that God is with you in all of it—right where you are, right now.
