Episode 80: Parenting The Anxious Generation
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Something has shifted—and our kids are feeling it.
In this episode, we’re talking about what it looks like to parent in the age of rising anxiety. From the explosion of smartphones to the loss of play-based childhoods, we unpack why this generation is struggling—and what we can do about it.
We explore:
- The difference between a play-based vs. phone-based childhood
- How constant comparison is shaping identity
- Why resilience is declining (and how to rebuild it)
- Practical ways to disciple technology, not fear it
- Creating a home where kids can process instead of perform
- Anchoring our children in truth, not just tools
We’re not raising kids for comfort—we’re raising them for strength.
This episode will help you move from reacting to anxiety… to leading your kids through it with clarity, confidence, and faith in Jesus.
To help us build a maternity ward in South Sudan, go to Transformsouthsudan.org/maternity and give. It costs $85,000 but a donor has already given a matching gift of up to $42,500 so every dollar you give is doubled. Thanks for helping us make a difference.
