God's Love vs. Mom + Dad's Love with Dr. Megan Clunan
What do we really mean when we teach our children the lyrics to the sweet, familiar song Jesus Loves Me? How do we teach them about love? Is it the same as mom and dad’s love? No! What we are talking about here is Agape Love: the unique love of God. How do we share that? Model that? Distinguish God’s unique love with our children? Dr. Megan Clunnan is here on CarSeat Questions to chat with us all about God’s love. Dr. Megan Clunan is the Program Head of Moody Bible Institute’s Human Services, Crisis and Trauma Care, and Christian Psychology programs. Dr. Clunan is also a licensed counselor with a focus on working with adolescent issues, childhood trauma, overcoming shame-based identities, and topics related to marriage and family. She is also the creator and host of the weekly podcast No More Shame, a podcast dedicated to using the tools of psychology and truths of Christian theology to break the shame narrative and heal the wounds that hold us back. Dr. Clunan and her husband of 16 years serve in Student Ministry in their local church and are the parents of two children (ages 12 and 7).

The concepts of ownership, sharing and generosity can be really hard to teach and ultimately, hard for children to understand. So where do we start? How can we begin instilling generosity in our children at a very young age? How does a child’s reception to sharing as a 2 year old influence their willingness for gospel generosity as an adult?
