    "Why Don't My Friends Believe What Our Family Does?" | PEP Talk Vol. 2, Episode 2

    Why does our family believe one thing about God… while my friends believe something totally different?  In this episode of Season 2: Questions Kids Ask, Kayla and Kaz unpack how to help your child navigate differences in faith with both confidence and kindness. As parents, we have the incredible opportunity to shape kids who know what they believe and know how to love people who believe differently. In this episode, we cover: • Why this question is really about belonging, not just belief. • How to help your child build strong faith without feeling superior or defensive. • Simple, age-appropriate language to explain, “This is what our family believes and why.” Whether it comes up at the dinner table or after school, this episode will equip you to turn a potentially confusing moment into a faith-building conversation rooted in truth and grace.
