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.

On today’s episode, we’re diving into what it means to help our kids build a foundation of gender confidence by focusing on five core needs. Dr. Kathy Koch joins us to share her wisdom, offering practical ways parents can root their children’s identity in God’s truth. Let’s journey together!

Welcome to the Upside-Down Parenting podcast from Summit Ministries! Parenting today can feel disorienting, like the world’s been flipped upside down. But you’re not alone. In a culture that often pushes against biblical truth, this podcast is here to equip and encourage you with practical insight and Christ-centered wisdom for the parenting journey.

At Summit, we believe parents are the single greatest influence on a child’s faith. Together, we’ll explore what it means to raise kids who thrive, embrace God’s truth, live out a biblical worldview, and follow Jesus in his beautifully counter-cultural way of life.

In our very first episode, we’ll dive into what it means to raise gender-confident kids and why this conversation is essential for every parent today. Our guests are Dr. Jeff Myers, president of Summit Ministries, and Dr. Kathy Koch, president of Celebrate Kids. Let's journey together!

Do you feel overwhelmed by the responsibility of helping your kids see the world the way God does? Does parenting sometimes leave you feeling disoriented—like you're spinning upside-down?

You're not alone. We love our kids and want more than anything for them to grow up with flourishing faith. Each episode of this podcast will give you practical insight, biblical wisdom, and encouragement for the journey. We're here to walk through both the hard stuff and the everyday stuff with you. By connecting truth with relationships, we can create a powerful, lasting influence in a child's life. When our kids experience both—the clarity of biblical truth and the security of God’s love, and yours—it creates a space for real transformation.

If parenting feels upside-down sometimes, that’s okay—following God’s design often is upside-down compared to everything around us, and that’s exactly what makes it powerful.
