Teaching Our Kids a Reasoned Patriotism w/ Dawn Duran
It is fashionable in today's world to either criticize and publicly profess your disdain for your country or blindly stamp everything your country does as good. Many young people today did not receive a robust civic education (and maybe we didn't either!). How can we combat this trend in the next generation? In this episode, Brett and Erin chat with Dawn Duran, author of the book "A Reasoned Patriotism: Critical Thinking and Civic Duty in an Age of Polarization," about how teaching our kids civics is essential to helping them develop a balanced love of country and skills for thoughtful engagement as citizens.

Why Men and Women Should Be Different w/ Glenn Stanton
The messages about women and femininity in our culture are incredibly loud. Feminism. Gender Ideology. Social media. Entertainment. Music. These are all competing for the attention of our little girls. As Christian parents, how can we help our daughters discover the femininity that God has given them when the world around us is so confused? In this episode, Brett and Erin continue their conversation with Focus on the Family's Glenn Stanton, author of the book "Raising Secure Daughters and Confident Sons," about the beautiful differences between men and women and what girls need from both mom and dad to grow into the young women they were made to be.
