  • Wish I could hear more from guests.

    Excellent podcast, covers a wide range of topics with something for every parent in any stage. My only complaint is that out of a 15 minute podcast, only 5 minutes are given to the world-class guests they have on. No offense to the hosts, but I’d rather hear more from the experts you’ve invited.

  • Building up the church by building up the family

    My mom listened to Focus on the Family when I was growing up and I remember I liked listening with her, even when I was a rebellious teenager. I am so thankful for all the Biblical insight and practical advice for raising our family to have a Biblical perspective and world view. Thank you for all you do!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Your Child Needs Affirmation & Discipline
Q: How should parents balance affirmation with discipline in daily life?
Affirmation should be given generously for who the child is, not just what they do, and discipline should be purposeful, aimed at guiding rather than punishing, often with an emphasis on meekness and understanding to maintain trust.
Teaching Kids God Loves Them
Q: How did that start for you?
The guest explains starting as a volunteer in Bible to School and how the program shifted their focus to going to kids where they are and seeing students who had little to no church background engage with Bible stories and faith.
How Your Child's Mind Learns
Q: What are the main learning styles described in your book?
The main styles are auditory, visual, and kinesthetic, but the discussion expands to how kids combine these modes and how their thinking, processing, and memory are influenced by their primary learning biases.
Working Through Middle School Challenges
Q: Why is it important for parents to pay attention to what happens in middle school and to stay engaged?
Because these years are formative for how kids think and act, and ongoing, open dialogue helps families navigate the transitions with trust, rather than forcing decisions and creating resistance.
If a Kid Misbehaves at School
Q: How can parents maintain spiritual practices when faced with a chaotic school routine?
Even small, consistent moments—like early mornings or quick prayers during busy days—help reset perspective and bring peace, ultimately improving interactions with children.
