    How to Teach Kids to Communicate With Confidence (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    Children do not automatically become confident communicators as they get older. They learn by watching us, practicing with us, and being given opportunities to speak for themselves. In this episode, I explain why teaching our kids to communicate is part of discipleship—not merely preparation for school or a future career. I also share practical ways dads can help children develop confidence, clarity, eye contact, strong body language, and the ability to speak graciously with different kinds of p

    I Made Pancakes for 6 Years. Then My Son Did This. (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    For nearly six years, I made pancakes for my children on Saturday mornings. I thought I was simply making breakfast and giving my wife a break. I did not realize how closely my children were watching. Then one Saturday morning, the routine came full circle. In this episode, I share why simple family traditions can carry far more influence than we realize. A small act of consistency can show love, give children something to anticipate, create opportunities to teach, and demonstrate what serving a

A reel from Scot Anderson got me thinking about Ephesians 6:4 and how easily fathers can frustrate their children without intending to. But the answer goes beyond giving our kids a ten-minute warning. In this episode, I share four family routines that can create stability, strengthen communication, and make room

    How to Talk to Your Kids About Sex (Do This First) (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    Most parents think they need to find the right words for “the talk.” But if difficult subjects are the only time we deliberately talk with or teach our children, even the perfect script can feel strange. In this episode, I explain what needs to happen before you talk to your kids about sex. We look at why this cannot be a one-time conversation, how children learn whether Dad is safe to talk to, and how everyday communication and family discipleship prepare them for conversations about bodies, se

    Should Your Teen Get a Job? The Responsibility Lesson Parents Miss (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    Should your teen get a job while still in high school? After watching a reel from parenting creator Scot Anderson arguing that teens should not work at 16, I found myself agreeing with part of his reasoning and questioning the rest. Responsibility should be taught at home. But does that mean teenagers should be kept from opportunities to practice it? In this episode, I consider what a part-time job can reveal about a teenager’s character, money habits, work ethic, and ability to navigate real-wo
