Letting go of parenting fears is something author Kevin Thompson says is difficult for many families, including his own. The author of Fearless Families says he and his wife found that when their son began showing some troubling signs, his anxiety led to their anxiety.

Kevin says many families are driven by fear and that it's no wonder, since we're bombarded every day with messages of things that are going wrong or could be going wrong. He says with national and international stories about kidnappings, murders and various crimes getting pushed to our phones within moments, the modern family has become the home of the afraid.

Kevin challenges parents to be driven by love and submission to the Lord, and not by fear. He says it's important to stop elevating things like safety, appearances, materialism and power.
