In today’s episode, Quinn addresses the subtle pressure many parents feel to make their children “great” in something be it academics, sports or another extracurricular activity. Because while most parents wouldn’t say anyone is directly telling them to do this, they can admit they feel the outside influence to prepare their child to excel more than generations in the past.

In the episode, Quinn teaches parents how to keep a balanced perspective and also encourages to be mindful of:

1. Two questions to ask yourself when feeling the pressure that your child needs to be doing big things
2. Times when you might be taking it too far in the expectations you have of them
3. A powerful connection time that can refocus your goals in parenting

Mind Renewal Tip:
If this won’t be relevant to you in ten years, it shouldn’t be something that keeps you up at night.

Scripture Renewal Tip:
“You don’t get wormy apples off a healthy tree, nor good apples off a diseased tree. The health of the apple tells the health of the tree. You must begin with your own life-giving lives. It’s who you are, not what you say and do, that counts. Your true being brims over into true words and deeds.

Avoidant attachment is one of the four attachment styles that can present in a person that affects their view of self and others.

1. How it happens or what it looks like in a relationship
2. What someone with avoidant attachment feels when someone tries to get too close
3. How to help them out of their shell and not take it personally

Mind Renewal Tip:
Avoidant attachment is something that is meant to be personal to others. It’s a coping mechanism developed to protect the person from stress.

Scripture Renewal Tip:
A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. Proverbs 15:1

Alcohol and drinking can be a controversial topic for Christians. Some believe drinking is a sin and some believe that Jesus is accepting of it because he drank wine himself. But the question remains: “How much alcohol is acceptable (if any) as a Christian seeking to honor God?”

In today’s episode, Quinn discusses this very topic by talking about:

1. What the surgeon general stated in his January 2025 advisory
2. What the Bible has to say about drinking and what is recommended as a healthy amount
3. Questions to ask yourself about your drinking to help you have a clear mind

Mind Renewal Tip:
Drinking often takes more than it adds but we tend to focus on the short term benefit and ignore the long term cost.

Scripture Renewal Tip:
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. Acts 11:24
