Upside-Down Parenting
Upside-Down Parenting
Podcast Description
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.
Welcome to Upside-Down Parenting from Summit Ministries. Let’s journey together.

Welcome to Upside-Down Parenting from Summit Ministries. Let’s journey together.
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 going to discuss with Dr. Roger Erdvig and Dr. Maggie Pope what it looks like to teach your kids to embody a biblical worldview. It’s not enough for our kids to just know the correct answers; we want them to live it out. The way of Jesus is not only true, it is also good and beautiful. We want our kids to have a holistic faith that includes their head, heart, and habits. We’ve laid the groundwork in previous episodes for raising gender-confident kids; now let’s put that into practice.
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.
