The Spiritual and Emotional Influence of Parental Fear

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.
