In this episode, we make it clear: this is not about endorsing Planned Parenthood—it’s quite the opposite. We believe life begins with God, and every child is a gift, never a surprise to Him, even if unexpected by us.

“Planning for Parenthood” challenges young adults to think beyond baby names and gender reveals and instead consider the deeper responsibility of raising a child. Our children come to us as blank slates—needing instruction on everything: how to walk, talk, play kindly, and even how to understand the word “no.” Because a child who never hears “no” becomes a person who can’t handle it—even decades later.

Tune in as we explore the biblical and practical importance of preparing for parenthood with purpose. Before the celebrations, take a moment to ask yourself: What values do I want to pass on? What kind of parent do I want to be? Let’s talk about the real work—and blessing—of raising the next generation.

In this episode of They Come With Instructions, we explore the powerful truth that children - starting as early as infancy - learn more from what they observe than what they're told. Our actions, attitudes, and habits become the blueprint our children follow. As the Bible reminds us, we are to teach by precept and example. This episode encourages parents to reflect the consistency between what we say and how we live. Because more than our words, our lives are the lessons our children carry forward.

In Part 2 of my candid conversation with my eldest son, Duke, we go even deeper. His thoughtful pauses, raw honesty, and deep questions bring powerful insight to the realities of parenting—especially when things don’t go as planned.

Duke courageously asks a question that many parents quietly wrestle with: What do you do when you raise your children according to God’s Word, but they don’t live up to those expectations? We explore that question and more, with transparency, grace, and even some well-timed humor.

This episode is for every parent who has planted seeds in faith and may be still waiting for the harvest. It’s a reminder that parenting God’s way is not about perfection—it’s about obedience, love, and trusting that His Word never fails.

You’ll laugh, reflect, and walk away uplifted and encouraged to stay the course—because His way is still the right way.
