In this episode of the Breaking Bullying Podcast, Tim Flynn sits down with Pastor Dan Crandall to talk about adversity, overwhelm, and why hard seasons in life can sometimes become the beginning of a brand new chapter.

They break down what adversity really looks like in everyday life, why “toxic positivity” can actually make things worse, and how both kids and adults can keep moving forward when life feels heavy. Pastor Dan also shares practical advice for parents helping kids through disappointment, stress, and difficult emotions.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, behind, overwhelmed, or like life keeps throwing roadblocks in your way, this episode will hit home.
