Summary
Hey friends, I am so glad you’re here today because this episode is such a gift. I had the absolute honor of welcoming back Pastor Max Lucado to the podcast, and his gentle wisdom and encouragement are exactly what we need as we navigate parenting in an anxious world. Max has spent decades speaking into our hearts with truth and grace. And now, he’s turned his attention to helping our kids better understand and manage fear and worry through his new devotional Calm Thoughts for Kids . It’s full of faith-based tools and age-appropriate encouragement, and today, we’re talking about how we, as parents, can come alongside our kids in their emotional and spiritual growth. Here are a few things you’ll hear in our conversation: How anxiety shows up differently in children, and how to recognize it Why open, ongoing conversations are essential for helping our kids grow in faith How to anchor your child’s identity in God’s truth instead of fear Encouragement for you as the parent: why your presence matters more than perfection Max Lucado is a pastor, speaker, and best-selling author whose books have sold over 145 million copies worldwide.

His newest devotional Calm Thoughts for Kids is designed to help kids trust God in anxious moments and develop lifelong habits of hope and faith. This episode is a beautiful reminder that we can model calm, point our children to Jesus, and be safe places for them to land, no matter what they’re walking through.
