About this listen
On this MINI-CAST episode of STEP INTO THE STORY, Phil talks with Jesse DeYoung about parenting teenagers, the joy of seeing your kids love church, and the sacred privilege of being both a parent and a pastor in their lives.
Jesse shares how his years in youth ministry shape the way he parents now, and why he believes kids don’t just need youth pastors and teachers—they deeply need their parents to be spiritual shepherds too. He describes a meaningful practice he’s developed: for the two years before each child enters high school, he reads through a special Bible just for them, underlining, making notes, and writing prayers in the margins. When they step into that new season, they receive a Bible filled with evidence of a dad who has been praying, thinking, and walking with God on their behalf.
It’s a simple, powerful picture of legacy, Scripture, and the long, faithful work of loving our kids toward Jesus.
