Part of being a parent means being there for the most joyous moments in your child's life, but it also means being there for the most difficult ones. As parents, we want to protect our children from all the bad things that can happen in this world, but the hard truth is that we canât. And sometimes, our kids experience things that kids should never have to experience. On this episode of Coming and Going, Joe sits down with Elizabeth Strong, a licensed Social Work and Mental Health Counselor, to talk about how to navigate trauma with our kids.

Today, joining Pastor Joe all the way from Australia is author and Pastor Dave Adamson to talk to us about how to navigate social media with our kids and how it can be used as a tool to help point our kids to Jesus.

How can you believe in something you canât see? Sometimes, for us as adults, this is hard for us to comprehendâso why do we think it would be any easier for our kids as they get older? When it comes to God and our faith, it can be tough to see an âinvisibleâ God when it feels like weâve prayed for a sign or message from Him, and all we get is silence. So, how, as parents, can we help our students to see God?
On this episode, Joe sits down with Shane Sanchez, author of "How to See God: A four-week devotional for students," to answer these questions and more!

On this episode of Coming & Going, Joe talks to Leah Ethier, a licensed mental health professional, and Shanna Craig, Troy Student Director, to learn more about body image, body dysmorphia, and eating disorders and how parents can model healthy habits and truths to their kids.

Coming & Going is a podcast designed to help parents live out and impress upon their children biblical truths as they come and go.
Deuteronomy 6 calls us to love God with all our hearts and to teach this command to our children. This means we, as parents, are called to find ways to share and show the truths of His word to our kids. This means we find both organized ways, such as family Bible study and times of prayer together and getting them plugged into Christ-centered community, and organic ways, as life circumstances occur to remind them of the truth of who God is.
Whether walking around the grocery store, avoiding the death trap that is known as the âpick up circleâ at school, sitting around the table, or wherever you are coming and going from, there are opportunities for parents to reflect the truth of Godâs Word and the humble love of Jesus to their kids.
