The Way of Valor
The Way of Valor Podcast equips Christian parents to raise children who follow Jesus, develop resilient character, and walk confidently in their God given purpose.
In a world shaping children through fear, distraction, and confusion, many parents are asking:
- How do I raise resilient kids in an anxious world?
- How do I disciple my children beyond behavior management?
- How do I help my child develop grit, confidence, and faith that lasts?
- How do I parent with conviction without losing connection?
Hosted by Angie Taylor, a 30-year veteran educator, school founder, and Christian leader, The Way of Valor Podcast provides biblically grounded coaching for parents who want to move beyond behavior management and into intentional spiritual formation.
