Raising Spiritually Strong Kids

Christian parents are carrying a huge question: how do you raise spiritually strong kids in a world that keeps pushing against faith? Dr. Charles Fay says the answer is simpler, deeper, and more freeing than most of us think - and it starts with letting go of control.

In this conversation, Dayle Annand talks with Dr. Charles Fay, author of Raising Spiritually Strong Kids from Tyndale Publishing, about what really shapes a child’s faith, character, and resilience. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by curriculum pressure, power struggles, or the fear that you’re not doing enough, this episode will feel like a reset.
