Welcome to the Upside-Down Parenting podcast from Summit Ministries. As parents, life can sometimes feel overwhelming, even upside-down. We're here to journey with you as you parent your kids to embrace God's counter-cultural truth and champion a biblical worldview.
In today's episode, we're honored to welcome Dr. Matt and Cathy Jones, a couple whose wisdom runs deep. They'll share some intentional decisions, daily rhythms, and faith-filled commitments that helped their three kids grow up confident in who God made them to be. No parent gets it all right, but Matt and Cathy offer hard-earned insight for anyone wanting to raise kids secure in their God-given identity.
Summit's newest book, Raising Gender-Confident Kids, written by Dr. Jeff Myers and Dr. Kathy Koch, is full of biblical wisdom, practical guidance, and real-life examples. It isn't a book just for families in crisis—it's for every mom and dad who wants their children to embrace God's good design with joy and courage. Get your free copy at genderconfidentkids.com.
