play

10/15/24 • 44 min

Talking about politics is hard enough, but throw kids into the mix and it can feel like navigating a mine field. That’s why we here at Mama Bear want to take a few minutes to help empower parents with a few tips on how to share their political beliefs in front of their children. In this podcast, Jennifer and Amy encourage parents not to let tempers flare when analyzing the views of their political opponent. Instead, parents are challenged to exercise self control while ROARing through the policies coming across the debate platform, recognize and unpack buzz words, vote for policies not personalities, and much more!

Parents will leave feeling challenged and embolden help their children think critically, love biblically, and stand firm in the faith while exercising their right to vote.

Main Points Covered

  • We have a right to speak our views in public.
  • Represent Jesus well in your conversations: Control your temper
  • ROAR through the information
  • Vote Policy not Personality
  • Fact check
  • Value truth over feelings — all truth is God's truth
