  • So good, I’m lost for words!

    I absolutely love this show! I look forward to it every week and I get something so meaningful every time I listen! Every guest is an amazing featured guest and just help me be the better parent. I know I can be! One of my favorite episodes was the gentleman who wrote sacred rhythms book, biting the hand that feeds you and so much more on forgetting right now. The most recent one with Dr. Amen is finding its way in the top three for sure! I just feel so grateful and blessed to have this content ... more

  • Great advice, too much talking by Rebecca

    Danny gives great advice and is the professional expert and experienced parent. While Rebecca has some good insights and examples/stories, she makes too many random comments and vocalizations while other people are talking (“mmm” and “yeah”). A few vocalizations is natural, but hers are excessive. She is just another parent like we are, not a trained professional. So we want to hear from Danny more.

  • Top parenting podcast

    Can’t say enough good things about this podcast. Danny and Rebecca have such compassion, so apparent in their voices, their conversation, the guests they have on. They have practical ideas, compelling wisdom, and some light-hearted moments. Bringing it back to what He promises in His Word has more than once been a conduit of God’s peace flowing in during some really despairing parenting challenges. Thank you, thank you for putting the message of His faithfulness out there for us seeking Him in t... more

  • It’s good to feel seen

    Thank you for your recent episode on parenting (and specifically fatherhood) anxiety. Anxiety has played such a strong roll in my story, and I’m thankful for the work God is still doing in my life through shows like yours. Cheers!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Daddy Daughter Connection
Q: What can I say to my dad to help him get that I'm still his tomboy girl while we're navigating changes in adolescence?
Express love and appreciation for the memories you've shared, acknowledge how you're growing, and invite him into new activities you both enjoy. Gentle encouragement and reminders that you still value time with him can reopen dialogue without making it confrontational.
Who You Are Becoming As A Parent
Q: Why is it important that parents continue to become and grow in their parenting journey?
Because ongoing growth models to children that faith is a lifelong process and that God's grace is active in the weaknesses of parents, which helps children trust and seek God themselves.
Feeling Like a Failure as a Parent
Q: What should a parent do when they regret a moment with their child?
The guest suggests recognizing the regret, engaging in repair by apologizing, seeking forgiveness, and planning better options for similar situations, while discussing triggers and maintaining ongoing spiritual support.
Spiritual Habits for Your Family
Q: What advice would you give to parents whose teen shows defiance in faith, and how can they guide younger siblings through similar phases?
Lead with sympathy, acknowledge the heartache, and approach with curiosity rather than control. Walk the road with them, ask questions, and join them in exploring beliefs while maintaining a supportive home environment so trust remains intact as they grow.
Effective Parenting with Dr. Randy Schroeder
Q: How should grandparents handle guardianship of grandchildren when the parents have made serious mistakes, especially as the kids approach their teens?
Dr. Schroeder suggests clearly distinguishing healthy versus unhealthy dynamics, communicating love with boundaries, and offering a vision for each child while explaining the reasons behind boundaries to help them grow into godly, responsible adults. He also recommends acknowledging the parents' mistakes without demonizing them, and providing pathways for healthy reconciliation as appropriate, including a rite of passage moment for the oldest teen to foster ownership of adulthood.
