In this 8th and final episode of the mini-season, husband and wife Danny and Monica Kwon talk about working with the parents of teenagers as it relates to the mental health issues of teenagers and their families. They speak from their experience dealing with the mental health issues of one of their own teenagers, but also as Danny spent 29 years serving as the youth pastor at one church, while Monica is both a psychologist and a Christian counselor. In speaking from these three distinct but overlapping perspectives, they discuss how youth ministry, youth pastors, and churches, can work with parents and their teenagers, to help them navigate the potential mental health issues of their teenagers.

One of the most difficult things about raising kids is the tendency we parents have to lose perspective. We can take the smallest situation and catastrophize; we are equally prone to focus on insignificant things and miss the big picture. Romans 8:5-8 urges us to set our minds on the Spirit, which will bring us life and peace in the hardest circumstances, as well as the most trivial. It’s our hope that this episode is so encouraging that you'll bookmark it to return to when you need it; we loved recording it for you.
“What does it practically look like, to set your mind on the Spirit? A lot of it is to prayerfully remember, with the hope of the Spirit, what Jesus has done.”

In this episode of the Rooted Parent podcast, Cameron and Anna discuss what it means to parent out of the "law of sin and death" versus "the law of the Spirit of life." Parents can learn to notice and know, in order to determine what their families need (hint: what we need is to understand and live under the gospel!).

Cameron and Anna spend this episode in the series “Parenting in the Spirit” talking about the glorious truth of Romans 8:1: “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Though parents may feel judgment from a variety of sources: other parents, parenting advice, church, extended family, and even from themselves, God does not judge us for our parenting failures, nor are we judged for our children’s behavior. Because we share in the perfect record of Jesus Christ, God does not condemn believing parents but forgives us and covers our transgressions.

Welcome to our newest season of the Rooted Parent Podcast. In this season, Cameron and Anna will dive into possibly the most beloved chapter in all of Scripture: Romans 8. They will discuss the nuts and bolts of what it means to “walk in the Spirit,” and what that looks like for moms and dads in everyday life with their children. In this first episode, Cameron and Anna begin in Galatians 5 with the fruit of the Spirit and give some context for what it actually means to take one step at a time in the guidance and strength of the Holy Spirit. Join us for this new season; we hope it will offer parents comfort, wisdom, and peace in the companionship of our good God.
“We are very vulnerable to slipping into the flesh when it comes to our kids.”

In this episode of the Rooted Parent Podcast, Cameron talks with special guest Jennifer Kvamme, author of More to the Story: Deep Answers to Real Questions on Attraction, Identity, and Relationships. As a 21-year veteran youth worker, wife and mom of 3, Kvamme sees that issues of sexuality and gender have become central to the faith development for teenagers. She wants her teenage readers to understand that God's design for male and female really is good news, that sexuality does not equal identity, and that the narrative of creation, fall, and redemption sweeps us into the great story of Jesus.

In this episode of the Rooted Parent Podcast, Cameron and Anna urge parents to talk to their children about heaven. It's helpful to have these conversations throughout our everyday lives, so that we are not just explaining what the Bible says about heaven when a loved one (or a pet) dies. In this episode, Cameron and Anna break down the what, the why, and the how of having these important spiritual conversations.
"I do think there is something we can learn from kids... hear these stories."

In this special episode of the Rooted Parent podcast, Cameron and Anna discuss Cameron's new book Heavenward: How Eternity Impacts Your Life on Earth. In particular, how does a biblical view of heaven impact how you parent your children? For parents who have a child in heaven, you'll find the same comfort Cole found in the writing of Paul. For parents whose children are on earth, you'll discover how a heavenward view will lend depth and richness to your view of raising your children.
"Eternity sheds light on the finitude of this life, and it forces us to be intentional."

Tune in to a fascinating conversation where host Cameron Cole interviews author Samuel James about his new book, Digital Liturgies: Rediscovering Christian Wisdom in an Online Age. You'll want to hear his discussion of "content vs. form"; "software vs. hardware," prompting us to ask the question: how is the technology itself- not just the content we view- shaping our loves, our views of what life should be like?
"The internet is a major secular liturgy."

In this episode, Cameron and Anna are excited to sit down with guest Collin Hansen of The Gospel Coalition. As an astute thought leader for Christians wrestling with contemporary culture, Hansen shares what he has seen and heard about the impact of smartphones and social media on children and teenagers. He invites us to trust God, but also to be informed and make wise decisions to protect our children. You won't want to miss this episode!
"It's easy in these conversations to come across as analog or Amish, and that might be a good decision for a lot of people, but it's about learning to control those things so that they don't control you, to use them so they don't use you, and to understand that there are people who get paid a lot more money than you do, who are a lot smarter than any of us, who are trying to grab that attention, that we have to demand to grab back."

Licensed professional counselor Alice Churnock of "Ask Alice" podcast fame sits down with Anna to talk about what she has learned from her teenaged clients about the impacts of social media. Because Alice is also a mom, she offers wise practical advice for parents of young teens, who don't yet have a smartphone. Alice also shares guidance for parents who want to pull back on their child's technology use. Finally, she offers the comfort of the gospel for every parent navigating these tricky challenges.
"What are the four things social media satisfies?... It satisfies communication, it satisfies comparisons, it satisfies curiosity, and it satisfies confidence."

In this episode of our technology series, Cameron and Anna discuss the enormous amount of time teenagers (and often, their parents) spend in front of screens on a daily basis. We find that Scripture has a lot to say about "numbering our days [so} that we may get a heart of wisdom" concerning how we spend the time God has given us.
"We need to be really careful not to send the message that doing schoolwork or being productive are the only ways to honor God with your time."

In this episode of the Rooted Parent podcast, Cameron and Anna tackle a tough topic: the unjust conduct of social media giants like Meta, TikTok, and Pornhub, who knowingly prey on preteens and teens with the intent to create addicts. Much like the tobacco industry, these companies exploit the vulnerability of children and young adults for profit, despite overwhelming evidence of harm to younger users. God cares deeply about the protection of the vulnerable, so be encouraged that while you may frustrate your child with protective measures, you are actually doing God's work.
"If you see exploitation of the vulnerable, then you need to stand between that person and their oppressor."
