How do families navigate crisis when children are young — and keep faith, hope, and connection alive?

In this episode, the Robinsons share personal stories of family crisis, including hospital emergencies, miscarriage, theft, and moving house, and reflect on how faith in Jesus, honest communication, and community helped them navigate these storms together.

They explore how to talk with children about trauma, grief, and uncertainty, the importance of family storytelling and memory, and how shared experiences shape resilience and faith. The conversation highlights the role of church and community support, practical ways to help children process difficult events, and how scripture (including Psalm 91 and Romans 8:28) can ground families in hope.

This episode will encourage Christian parents to be open about hardship, create space for questions, and help their children understand difficult experiences through faith, honesty, and shared rituals that build long-term family resilience.
