Join Jake and Cassie as they chat about what Bluey can teach us about faith & parenting.

If you're a parent of a young child, you've probably heard of the Disney show Bluey. It's the story of a young family of Australian sheep dogs in everyday scenarios. Bandit, the dad in the story, turns everything into a game as he and his wife teach their kids life lessons. 

Jake and Cassie talk through the following: 
What are the lessons behind the lessons that we can learn from Bluey?
How does it relate to our faith? 
How can we avoid or combat #DadGuilt and #MomGuilt?
How can we model forgiveness for our kids?
