What Should I Do When My Child Is Crushed by Their Sin?

About this episode

Elizabeth discusses how to help children understand their identity in light of sin and the gospel.

When your child is deeply grieved by their sin, it can be both beautiful and overwhelming. How do we speak truth about sin without crushing their spirit? In this episode, Elizabeth walks through the biblical “arc” of our identity—created in God’s image, fallen in sin, redeemed by Christ, justified through faith, and sanctified by the Spirit. Learn how to help your child understand who they truly are in light of the gospel.
