We all come from various backgrounds, environments, and experiences. This podcast takes a generalized look at parenting defense mechanisms. These are the innate or natural responses that individuals develop in response to stimuli that is meant to help protect them. 

This not a claim on how YOU heal their hearts, the work of the Holy Spirit is the primary factor in healing your kids’ heart. This podcast discusses scripture and tools to help walk with your kids in abiding, as you identify and surround the defense mechanisms with the Word of God. As you submit their development to God, and point them to the Word of God.
