Podcast Description
How do you raise children with grace in a polarized culture? What does it mean to parent without division when politics, race, and ideology dominate conversations—even on playgrounds? How can Christian households disciple children to be peacemakers instead of parrots of rage?
In this episode of Truth Without Tribalism, Jermaine Pearson continues the January Faith at Home series with a powerful message on parenting in divided times. He shares personal stories of his children’s experiences in a Christian school during an election season, where tribalism and polarization seeped into even the youngest hearts.
You’ll hear why the culture of your home must be stronger than the culture of the world, and how Scripture calls parents to raise Kingdom citizens who don’t just survive culture—they transform it.

Call to Action
This week, take inventory of your words. What are your kids hearing from you about people who think differently? About politics? About race? About the church?
