Hi ,

You don't need me to tell you the world has gotten harder to navigate.

You see it. The culture your kids are growing up in is pulling in directions that would have seemed extreme not long ago. The institutions that were supposed to be trustworthy often aren't. And eventually, sooner than it feels, your kids are going to step out from under your roof and into all of it.

The question isn't whether they'll face pressure.

They will.

The question is whether they'll be ready.

Not just spiritually. Not just academically. But in the deeper sense: the kind of ready that holds up when a professor mocks what they believe, when a relationship falls apart, when they fail at something important for the first time and there's no one there to soften it.

That kind of readiness doesn't happen by accident.

I've been thinking about why. More on that soon.
