In today's culture, someone who has a different political view, ideology or worldview is seen by many as an enemy. And often teens see siblings, coaches and teachers as their enemies simply because they don't see eye to eye. As Christians, we are called to love our enemies. What does that mean? What are some practical steps we can take as parents to teach our teenagers to love their enemies? Anna Meade Harris and Cameron Cole dive into scripture to answer those questions.

By and large,the news in 2020 has not been good. How’s that for an understatement? In this episode of the Rooted Parent podcast, Cameron and Anna talk about the effects of watching too much news on our hearts personally, and on our families. In light of what God has called us to vocationally and relationally, how do we manage our news consumption responsibly?

During this long and weary COVID season, teenagers are experiencing intense loss, separation, and the sad reality that nothing is the way it is supposed to be. In this first episode of Rooted Parent Season Two, Cameron Cole and Anna Meade Harris discuss their personal experiences of grief and suggest ways parents can minister biblical comfort to their families.

In past episodes, we’ve focused our attention on a boy’s relationships with his mom and dad, and also with his friends. This episode looks at a boy’s relationships with girls - how he relates to the opposite sex, whether in friendship or in the context of dating.

In this episode, David talks about The Mind of Boys and how they learn. He discusses the role of the brain, barriers to learning and ideas for supporting boys as students. He discusses the five ways boys learn, and five ideas parents and educators could implement easily to allow boys to feel more competent and capable in any learning environment, and while doing homework.
