As another school year begins, many families are experiencing a mix of excitement, nerves, and uncertainty. How can parents help their children navigate the challenges of a new year while staying grounded in their faith?

In this special Words of Life panel discussion, we're joined by parents, a veteran high school teacher, and a licensed mental health counselor who share practical encouragement for every stage of the school journey. Our panel includes Heather Hanton, Melissa Powell, Daynes Crouch and Matt Crouch. Together, they discuss what children and parents are really feeling, how students have changed over the years, and simple ways families can intentionally prepare their hearts for the year ahead.

Whether your child is entering elementary school, middle school, high school, or preparing for graduation, this conversation offers biblical encouragement and practical advice to help your family thrive.
