Raising Brave, Resilient, Kind Kids
Culture tells us to nurture our child’s self-esteem but Jill says that’s a recipe for disaster. She encourages us to raise kids who esteem God, not themselves.
Jill Garner is an accomplished speaker, advocate, founder of Manners of the Heart, and author of StrongHeart: Cultivating Hpumility, Respect, and Resiliency in Your Child.
Maybe you’ve noticed how culture paints dads as buffoons. Jill says that how we view our earthly dad is how we first come to understand our heavenly Father.
She believes that culture paints that picture of dad’s as buffoons to instill a false understanding of our good, wise, faithful God. Dads, you matter!
If you’re heading into the teenage years with your child, Jill encourages you not to rescue your great kid when they mess up. She offers a better way that cultivates humility, respect, and resiliency in your teen.
How much of your time with your child is spent training them? There’s a heavy trend towards entertaining our kids instead of training them. A conversation all about cultivating a strong hearts in children.
Also in this episode Perry and Shawna talk with Caleb, Jordan, and Josh Ward of Consumed By Fire about how they almost gave up on their God dream, they were burnt out from the road, dad had suffered a stroke.
That’s when their dad, before he passed said, “If God has called you, don’t let anyone talk you into it, and don’t let anyone talk you out of it. It’s the story behind the song, “First Things First.”

Shawna Beyer
Shawna Beyer has a way of telling stories that create personal connection— to her, to one another, and to God. She has been a homeschool mom, church planter, project lead for a consulting company, and church staff member. Though she’s been involved in ministry with her husband (Dan) in Iowa, Arizona, and now Michigan, she was born and raised in Southern California and as they say, “You can take the girl out of California . . .” She is mom to four grown kids (Bryn, Drayson, Eden, and Haven) who no longer need her but humor her anyway. Shawna is passionate about the rhythms we weave into the fabric of our lives to fall more in love with God each day. Healthy foods are her go-to, but she will abandon that whole track in a heartbeat for a homemade cinnamon roll like Grandma used to make.
