Every parent wants their children to know they are loved. But love isn't only something we give—it's something our children have to experience. And that experience begins with trust.
Most parents aren't trying to appear perfect—we're simply trying to lead our children well. But when our children only see the polished versions of us, they can begin believing they're the only ones who struggle.
Trust grows when our children discover they don't have to earn relationship.
To go deeper into this topic, we have a special resource called The Cure.
You'll discover how trust is built, how grace changes the way we parent, and why there's always hope—no matter what season of family life you're in. Complete with a discussion guide, it's a practical resource for parents, grandparents, and anyone who wants to build stronger relationships rooted in the love of Christ.
If this message resonates with you, we invite you to listen to the full conversation.
In this episode, Bill, Scott, and Waldemar share personal stories about parenting, discuss why children often feel pressure to live up to impossible standards, and explore how trust creates the kind of relationships where love, honesty, and faith can truly flourish.
Living Influence exists to help people experience the freedom, trust, grace, and identity that are already theirs in Christ. Your generosity allows us to continue creating conversations and resources that encourage families, leaders, and individuals around the world.
