Raising Daniels & Esthers: Faith That Lasts Beyond Your Control w/ Alicia Bennett | Ep. 34, Pt. 1

We all want our kids to stand strong in their faith—even when the world feels confusing, challenging, or downright hostile. But raising children who truly own their beliefs isn't about controlling every behavior or hitting the "perfect parenting" mark. It's about creating space for them to wrestle with faith, ask questions, and see God's truth in everyday life.

In this episode of Upside-Down Parenting, we're joined by Alicia Bennett from Mobilizer Mom, who knows firsthand the struggle of feeling overwhelmed and stuck in the cycle of parenting frustration. Through a personal transformation in Christ, Alicia rediscovered the joy of motherhood and the power of discipling her children in everyday moments.

She now equips parents to embrace their God-given identity, create Christ-centered homes, and raise the next generation of "Daniels and Esthers"—kids who stand firm in their faith and boldly impact the world.

Tune in as we explore how to guide your child's faith without controlling it, challenge them in new ways, and trust God to lead their hearts. This episode is packed with practical strategies for raising resilient, faith-driven kids in today's culture.
