Parenting can often feel overwhelming. We want to raise our children well, disciple them faithfully, and navigate the pressures of modern family life, yet many of us feel like we're making it up as we go.

In this episode, I sit down with Harriet Connor and Andrew Horsfield, contributors to Parenting in God's Family Volume 2, to talk about the realities of parenting, discipleship, fatherhood, motherhood, family life, and the role of the church in raising children.

We discuss parenting failures, finding healthy limits, why children need more than just their parents, the importance of fathers taking responsibility for discipleship, and how modern culture has reshaped our understanding of family.

Whether you're parenting toddlers, teenagers, or preparing for family life in the future, this conversation offers practical wisdom and biblical encouragement.
