Family Shield

Did you know that a 13-year-old boy saved 17 lives during Hurricane Harvey? Or that a five-year-old child led a group of toddlers to safety after Hurricane Katrina? Do you realize that a third grade girl sewed over a thousand blankets for people who needed them? Young people are doing amazing things all the time. Instead of thinking they need to wait until they’re older, they’re jumping into action now, as if to say “I can’t wait!” My guest today is Dr. Tim Elmore. He’s the author of I Can’t Wait. This book includes 52 stories of kids who changed their world. You can read these stories together with your kids. Dr. Elmore is the founder and CEO of Growing Leaders, an Atlanta based nonprofit organization encouraging and equipping emerging leaders. He has published over 35 books and has appeared in the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, and has been featured on Fox News on Fox & Friends. He and his wife Pam have two adult children and live outside of Atlanta.
