In this episode of the Rooted Parent podcast, Cameron and Anna discuss how the gospel leads parents and teens to an attitude of humility. Humility is neither a low opinion of one’s self (shame) nor a high opinion of one’s self (arrogance). Rather, true humility means knowing who we are in relation to God: sinners irretrievably lost without His grace, yet beloved bearers of His divine image.
