Controversial out of the gate – but honest as always! – we jump right into trust between parents and their children by talking about a BIG reason parents need to rebuild trust with their children. This is not a marriage counseling session, but we talk straight-up about divorce from personal experience before we get into the meat of the matter, and this was a question a listener asked. Of course, there are many reasons for having to rebuild trust with our children, and there are great ways to build trust with our children. It’s a packed episode, so jump down off the curb and walk with us!

Our episode last week was {Re}Building Trust With Our Spouse, and that was by design. Building trust with our children begins with trust between Husband and Wife. Children learn by example and imitation, and the parents are the first educators. Without that trust between spouses, building trust with our children is next to impossible – and we don’t really know how it can be done fully.

We can’t give what we ain’t got.

Once we get past that reality, we dive right into how to build trust with our children and how to rebuild trust with our children when we break it – and when they break it.

Children need to know that we’ve got their back. They need to know that nothing is unforgivable. Nothing.

Absolutely nothing is unforgivable.

We lead up to the key to building and rebuilding trust with our children by sharing many examples that have worked and continue to support the trusting relationship we build daily.

And yes, as we did last week, we share the key specifically.

This episode is a couple of minutes longer than our usual length. But it is worth it – we are talking about a primary reason for Jesus coming to earth, and that takes some extra time to explain – and understand.
