Available Hope: Parenting, Faith, and a Terrifying World
The world our kids are growing up in is beyond scary—it’s terrifying. Mothers and fathers, grandparents and caregivers all fear for their children, even as they hope for them to live beautiful lives. Drawing from personal stories, and via discussion to give inspiration and courage, Julie will engage in conversation with participants around the truth that we are stronger when we seek the shelter of one another—on the playground, in our communities of faith, and across our neighborhoods and cities. Our own brokenness as parents makes us better able to prepare our kids for what it means to really live. Sometimes, our finest teachers can be our children. And that, despite daily fear and discouragement, there still is Available Hope.
