## Resource

Australia's social media ban for children under 16 has generated headlines around the world, but perhaps not for the reasons many expected. Three months after the law took effect, most teenagers were still finding ways around it. Did the policy fail? Maybe not. In this episode of Facing the Dark , Wayne and Dr. Kathy explore why true formation is rarely measured in months. Instead, they discuss how parents shape character over the years through consistent habits and patient discipleship. If you've ever wondered whether your parenting is making a difference, this conversation offers a hopeful reminder that God's work in our children is often slow, quiet, and deeply transformative.
