    Episode Details

    Helping Your Child Approach Anxiety, Bullying, and Identity

    Date: May 12, 2026

    Guests: Melanie Shankle

    Young adults today are more anxious and uncertain than ever before – but that doesn’t have to be your story. Caroline Shankle and her mom, Melanie, open up about the real challenges of the teenage and young adult years – bullying, comparison, anxiety – and how to trust God with your future. You’ll be encouraged to “face your giants” with faith and courage, inspired by Caroline’s new devotional, The Lion and the Bear.
