Are the Kids Alright? Three Book Reviews: Episode 54
Three recent popular books on the state of kids and families came out recently: The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt, Family Unfriendly by Tim Carney, and Bad Therapy by Abigail Shrier. They each grapple with the same societal problems of record rates of anxiety, depression, medication, treen suicide, and loneliness. They also discuss the decline of the “play-based childhood” since the 1980s. Each give slightly different prescriptions aimed at less anxiety for parents and more resiliency for children. Join us for a discussion of how these authors approach the issues and how Christians might think about it all.

This week the Senate debated and passed a foreign aid package to Ukraine, Taiwan, Gaza, and Israel. We give a very non-expert look into what’s happening and why we can still be optimistic for freedom’s future.
