    In this episode of The Way of Valor, host Angie Taylor welcomes Amy Ford, co-founder and president of Embrace Grace, a nonprofit transforming how churches support single and pregnant mothers. Amy shares her powerful personal story of facing an unexpected pregnancy at 19 and how that experience inspired her to launch a movement that equips churches to become safe, supportive communities for women navigating unplanned pregnancies.

    Key themes include the importance of open conversations about abortion within the church, the urgent need for practical support systems for pregnant women, and how parents can educate their children about the value of life and the resources available. Amy’s insights remind us that every baby is a miracle—and that churches can be a place of healing, hope, and empowerment.

  • 180: How to Raise Gritty, God-Centered Kids in a Self-Absorbed World
    2025/05/05

    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.

    As a mom, educator, and faith leader, I’ve spent over 30 years helping families raise children who live boldly and purposefully. In this video, I share powerful, practical parenting strategies from both personal experience and the incredible testimonies I’ve witnessed through Valor Global Foundation. This message is especially for parents who want to raise resilient, faith-filled children in a culture that promotes fear and fragility.

    You’ll hear how a young man’s life was transformed through grace, faith, and partnership between school and home. You’ll also learn the 5 foundational principles to raising a child who steps into the calling God has placed on their life. I dive into the cultural shifts affecting our youth, why many kids are emotionally fragile, and how you as a parent can take action—starting with your own transformation.

    If you’re longing to leave a legacy of strength, hope, and kingdom impact, this is for you. Whether your child is 5 or 15, it’s never too early or too late to shift the narrative. Let’s raise kids who know their worth, pursue purpose, and stand strong in their faith.

    More about Dr. Tyler Thigpen: https://theforest.school/our-team

    As a veteran educator with over 30 years of experience, I’ve had countless conversations about what’s broken in our school system—but rarely do I meet someone who isn’t just complaining… but actually building something better. In this episode of The Way of Valor, I’m joined by Dr. Tyler Thigpen—Harvard professor, founder of The Forest School, and one of the most disruptive voices in education today.

    We dive deep into the pivotal moment that inspired Tyler to reimagine education, and how he’s now empowering self-directed learners through real-world projects, diverse community models, and a mission grounded in faith and calling. This isn't just about one school—it's about a movement. A movement toward meaningful education that prepares kids not just for college, but for life, purpose, and impact.

    Whether you’re a parent, educator, or just someone who knows there must be a better way—this conversation will challenge what you believe about learning. You’ll walk away with hope, practical insights, and maybe even the courage to disrupt the status quo in your own community.

  • 176: What No One Tells Christian Parents About Modern S*x Ed
    2025/04/18

    Send us a text

    I’m passionate about equipping parents with tools to raise children in truth — especially in a world where culture is increasingly targeting the hearts and minds of our kids. In this video, I dive deep into the spiritual battle raging over the next generation and why it's absolutely vital for parents to engage early, prayerfully, and with bold love.

    You’ll hear practical steps to shield your home, navigate the influence of public education, and speak truth over your kids in ways that are age-appropriate, grace-filled, and biblically grounded. I’m not here to create division, but to empower you with discernment and spiritual strategy to stand firm in love and truth. The enemy may have schemes, but we have something stronger—God’s Word and wisdom.

    This episode also includes a comprehensive breakdown of 10 age-specific resources to help you talk to your children about s*x, identity, and purity — without fear or shame. I’ll share real stories, proven tools, and encouragement for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the current climate. Parents, this is our moment. Let’s rise with holy boldness and prepare our kids not just to survive—but to stand.

  • 175: Why Gender Ideology in Schools Should Alarm Every Christian Parent
    2025/04/08

    Send us a text

    If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed or unsure how to guide your children through today’s gender identity confusion, you are not alone — and you are not without tools. In this deeply honest episode of The Way of Valor, I speak directly to Christian parents about the urgent need to engage, speak truth, and love our kids well through a cultural moment that is anything but neutral.

    This episode lays a foundation rooted in Biblical truth, scientific facts, and practical compassion. I cover the research around gender dysphoria, the rapid increase in youth transitioning, and how cultural institutions — including media and schools — are shaping your children’s beliefs, often without your knowledge. I also tackle one of the biggest lies: that silence is safer than speaking up. Spoiler alert: It’s not.

    But this isn’t just about warning — it’s about hope. As believers, we have access to eternal truths that free, heal, and restore. I’m here to equip you with clarity, resources, and confidence. You don’t need to have all the answers. You just need the courage to have the conversation. Tune in, take notes, and let’s prepare to lead our families in both truth and love.
