About this listen

 What if the biggest risk to our children’s future isn’t failure—but our fear of it? In this bold and deeply affirming episode, Ginny Yurich is joined by bestselling author and father of four, Mark Gerson, to explore how overprotection is quietly robbing kids of the very traits they need to thrive: independence, resilience, and confidence. Drawing from his new book God Was Right, Gerson shows how timeless biblical truths—like “do not fear”—are being confirmed by modern social science, and why embracing those truths can change how we parent. This conversation covers everything from helicopter parenting and safetyism to peer pressure, adversity, and the importance of honoring children’s small steps toward freedom. With warmth and clarity, Mark explains how the smallest actions—returning a lost dollar, offering a smile, celebrating a milestone—are never just small. They are sacred. Packed with real-world examples, science, ancient wisdom, and hope, this episode is an invitation to raise stronger kids by doing less hovering and more cheering. You’ll walk away seeing your role—and your child’s potential—through a whole new lens. ** Get your copy of God Was Right here Learn more about Mark and all he has to offer here Learn more about your ad choices.
