383 - Deconstructing as a Parent, Not Knowing What to Tell Your Kids

[We'll continue this conversation LIVE on 2/2.  You are welcome to join us. ]

Bekah McNeel joins to talk about her book, "Bringing Up Kids When Church Lets You Down: A Guide for Parents Questioning Their Faith."   Joey recounts the angst of feeling ill-equipped to guide his kids spiritually through recent years and the peaceful place he and his kids have landed.  Bekah outlines a correlation between the doctrine of hell and unhealthy parenting,  shares the power of repentance and apology with our kids, and gives a snapshot of her book that covers all the bases of parenting amidst deconstruction and questioning of faith.

How do we teach our kids reverence for God without  instilling the "stern and stoic being" narrative we were taught?  How do we guide our kids in their interactions with pop culture without being legalistic?   Why can all parents take a deep breath and not parent out of fear?
