As kids grow up and mature - and especially as they go to college - many will decide that kindness is the #1 quality they want in a friend. Once you’ve been burned by a mean friend, you understand why kindness matters. But in the middle school and sometimes the high school years, some kind girls may get overlooked as they float from group to group but don't have a firm place of belonging. Join Kari and Kim as they discuss this common dynamic and reassure parents who try to teach good character that it's worth it to stay the course.

College is a new stage of life where you choose a path. You've chosen paths before, but this time, your parents aren't there to protect you and lead you. You're leaving the security of family and lifelong friends, and you don't have a faith community yet to speak truth over you. In this transition (full of excitement, nerves, and uncertainty) it's easy to be swayed and wrongly be defined by what happens to you on a college campus. Join Kari and two recent college graduates as they talk about being rooted in truth and strong in your identity - because your identity will never be challenged more than when you leave home.
