What does it really mean to raise resilient kids in today’s world? In this episode, we sit down with Christie, Matt and Andre to unpack the true meaning of resilience and why it matters more than ever. From emotional wellbeing to leadership in ministry, we explore how kids can learn to process challenges, recover, and grow forward rather than just “bounce back.” This conversation blends practical insight with real-life experience, helping kids leaders and parents build environments where resilience can thrive.
