I heard of "faith in kids" on a radio channel. searched them up and over the years has helped me understand tough issues faced today and helped me talk to my kids and teach them how we deal with it.
I found this podcast so helpful and so relevant to current life. the hosts are so real and normal. it's great having such a good podcast from the UK as some of the examples felt so much more relevant to my life than I sometimes fine with those from the US.
