A short spoken reflection by Holly Furtick describing how a book taught her that the best thing to do for a child’s anxiety is to address the parent’s own anxiety. She contrasts external achievements (position, career, appearance) with the importance of inner character and personal growth—‘who I am becoming.’

Chapters

This book had a line in it that really helped me. It helped me with so much more than my parenting. But the book said the best thing that you can do for your child's anxiety is handle your own. And I'm confessing to you because I get it all backwards. I want to focus on what God wants me to do, the parts of me that I can see and tangibly manipulate. And we focus on our position or our career or our title or our appearance. And those things are not bad in and of themselves, but they are not nearly as important as who I am becoming. The parts inside of me that are unseen.
