Ep. 111: Navigating Doubt: How to Respond When Your Child Asks Hard Questions

As our kids grow, their questions get bigger—about faith, identity, relationships, and even tough issues like loss or why there’s suffering in the world. These questions can catch us off guard, and sometimes, it’s hard to know the “right” answer. In today’s episode, we’re exploring ways to navigate those big questions with sincerity and faith, turning challenging conversations into moments of growth. How do we handle it when our kids ask questions about cultural issues, family, or faith? How do we respond when they bring up topics we ourselves may struggle to answer? As moms, we may not have all the answers, but we can guide them toward truth, listening deeply and responding thoughtfully. 1 Peter 3:15 reminds us to “always be prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you.” This episode is about finding that hope together and creating an environment where our kids feel safe to ask and explore—even the hard questions. Let’s grow together in these moments, making space for trust and understanding in every conversation. Join us for an honest talk about parenting through tough questions, and let’s encourage each other as we walk through it. 🌱 Thank you to this season's sponsor, BJU Press.
