  • How to lead your kids with questions instead of lectures
    Oct 13 2025

    When your kids make mistakes or face big decisions, it’s tempting to step in and tell them exactly what to do. But what if there’s a better way—one that helps them grow, think, and take ownership of their choices?

    In this episode, we talk about the power of leading your kids through questions rather than giving answers. You’ll learn why asking questions engages a different part of the brain, how it helps kids build problem-solving skills, and why this approach strengthens connection instead of creating distance.

    We’ll also look at how Jesus modeled this same approach—using questions to shift mindsets and invite understanding.

    This week, practice pausing before you lecture and start guiding with curiosity instead.

  • Being the Light: Rethinking Expectations for Our Kids
    Sep 22 2025

    As Christian parents, it’s easy to assume our children will naturally shine the light of Christ wherever they go—whether on the soccer field, in the classroom, or among friends. But is that a fair expectation? In this episode, we explore what it truly means for kids to “be the light,” looking at Jesus’ own thirty years of preparation before His public ministry. You’ll be challenged to reflect on whether you’re expecting too much, too soon from your children, and encouraged to focus instead on guiding, modeling, and creating space for them to grow in healthy relationships, emotional resilience, and spiritual grounding. This week’s takeaway: take inventory of your expectations, lead with connection, and remember that preparation under your roof is just as valuable as influence in the world.
