The Spiritual and Emotional Influence of Parental Fear Feb 18, 2026

Show notes

The stats of anxiety, depression, and stress on Gen Z (ages 14-28) are scary and higher than ever before. That’s not hyperbole.
What have been the cultural, familial, and individual influences at work, and what can parents of Gen Alpha (ages 0-13) learn from where we find ourselves?
We believe that parents hold the keys to influencing the next generation. And there is much more hope than might appear at the surface.
But the way through is by first addressing what may be our greatest adversary: Our own parental fears.
In this episode, we ask the question, “Why are we doing what we’re doing as families?” We address issues like the self-fulfilling prophecy, the role of epigenetics in child outcomes, and the spiritual laws that influence our decisions.

Kids, Fear, and Helping Your Adult Children with Max Lucado Jan 28, 2026

Epigenetics is real. In other words, there’s a trickle down effect onto our kids based on our beliefs, feelings, and the environment in which we raise them.
In this episode, Pastor Max Lucado joins the show to talk about helping parents meet children in their anxious thoughts. Having written multiple books on anxiety, Pastor Lucado has a new 90-day devotional called Calm Thoughts for Kids, and joins the show to talk about what he’s seeing as a grandparent and how parents today can help their kids with their anxious days.

The Love Language That Matters Most with Dr. Gary Chapman Jan 21, 2026

Show notes

What is the love language that matters most?!
That’s the focus of this week’s episode, as our friend, Dr. Gary Chapman, author of The Five Love Languages, joins us to talk about his new book by the same name, The Love Language That Matters Most.
In this episode, Dr. Chapman drops some serious one-liners to teach us how to practically identify and love our spouse in their own dialect. Sound intriguing to you? The insights are profound.
Here are some of the gold nuggets Dr. Chapman shares:

Why our agenda takes precedence over our values
How to know what your spouse needs to really feel loved
Why the misbehavior of both children AND adults grows out of an empty love tank
How to be a great listener
The three ways to help your children feel loved
And the most sobering question Dr. Chapman asked of himself while raising his kids

As he stated, “The question is not, ‘Do you love your children.’ The question is, ‘Do your children feel loved?’”

Embracing “Presence” as Families This Christmas Nov 19, 2025

Show notes

Advent season is about “waiting in anticipation” for Jesus’ coming. In the Western world, we wait by throwing Christmas parties, buying presents, and trying to avoid the hustle and bustle.
But instead of trying to avoid, what if we tried to embrace? It’s one thing to avoid, it’s quite another to step into something with intention. In this episode, Josh and Christi share ways of embracing presence this Christmas — both with your spouse and kids, and with God as well.
They cover some key highlights from their Advent book for families, The 25 Days of the Christmas Story, and also talk about what’s coming for Tender & Fierce in 2026!

How the Body and Nervous System Protect our Kids Oct 15, 2025

Show notes

Have you ever said your child, “Don’t yell at your brother!” What’s happening in a child’s body filled with anger is louder than what’s going on in their brain. As Christi says in this episode, “Our body sends 10 messages to our brain for every 1 our brain sends to our body.” This is why lecturing an overwhelmed child often feels useless.
In other words, our body speaks louder than our brain. So why have we stopped listening to the body? What’s actually going in our child’s body in their anger? What’s happening on our body in our anger? And why, for our children, is loving touch the most powerful way for the body to know “felt safety?”
As we close out season 6 on Relational Intelligence in Kids, Christi answers these questions and shares why the body protects our children anytime there is a threat to their connection, belonging, safety, and dignity. She also explains how we as parents can help our kids restore felt safety and why these principles will be an integral part of KidsRQ.
