With humor, humility, and decades of parenting experience between them, they explore what it really means to disciple children in today’s chaotic culture.Together, they wrestle with:Is it even possible to shield our kids from toxic influences?How do we balance discipline with love—and avoid shame-based parenting?What happens when our child’s independence clashes with our expectations?Whether you’re in the toddler trenches, launching a teen, or just trying to model Jesus in the minivan, this conversation will remind you that perfection isn’t the goal—presence is. It’s not about controlling outcomes, but about creating a safe place where kids can learn, fail, and encounter God for themselves.👣 Subscribe for more parenting wisdom rooted in grace, not guilt.Get more great content and resources to help you put your faith in action at Compassion.com/UntoJesus.
