In this encouraging and practical episode, Bobby Cooley and Meg Landi sit down with Brad and Liz Flurry to talk about raising confident, responsible, and resilient kids in today’s challenging world.

Drawing from a very popular EH resource Kids Can, Brad and Liz share seven powerful parenting principles that help families move beyond survival mode and intentionally develop ownership, grit, responsibility, and faith in their children. From “letting kids carry their own backpack” to allowing safe failure and building stronger connection before correction, this conversation is full of wisdom, honesty, and hope for parents in every stage.

Whether you’re parenting toddlers, teens, or emerging adults, this episode will challenge and encourage you to raise kids who are prepared to thrive spiritually, emotionally, and practically.

Topics include:

Why resilience is a skill that can be taught
How parents unintentionally create dependency
The importance of safe failure and ownership
Connection vs. correction in parenting
Teaching purpose instead of pressure
Modeling responsibility and perseverance at home

If you’ve ever wondered how to prepare your child for real life while pointing them toward Jesus, this conversation is for you.
