Protecting vs Equipping: How to Get it Right

In part two of my podcast interview with Pastor Jim Ladd, we discuss the difference between protecting and equipping our child and learn what could be at risk if we don't get this right.

We also discuss the message our children receive when we constantly operate in protection mode and the question you should ask yourself if you find yourself helping a little too much.

If you have a child in crisis, we sincerely hope that you find comfort and clarity while listening to his message on the importance of bringing ourselves back to baseline and beginning to examine the bigger picture and opportunity available to us during this time.

A few highlights from this episode:

7:40 The message our kids may be receiving when we are constantly in protection mode

8:21 The difference between protecting and equipping

11:45 Everyone can carry some of the load

14:50 The question you should ask before rescuing
