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.

Conversations with the Poster Child – An Interview with My Son, Duke

In this heartfelt and candid episode, I sit down with my oldest son, Duke—the one I proudly call the "poster child" for They Come with Instructions. Though his journey hasn’t been without challenges and mistakes, Duke’s story is a powerful testament to resilience, redemption, and the fruit of biblical parenting.

With thoughtful pauses, brutal honesty, and a witty sense of humor, Duke shares his experiences with refreshing transparency. His life reflects the strength and dignity that can emerge when biblical principles are planted early and nurtured with love, discipline, and grace. Even in the face of setbacks, the seeds of godly instruction took root—and now they bear witness to the truth that parenting God’s way works.

This episode will remind and encourage parents that God's Word never returns void. It's a conversation every family should hear—filled with truth, hope, and a few good laughs along the way.

In this episode of They Come With Instructions, we dive into the timeless value of using the Bible as your parenting guide. As our Creator, God knows us—and our children—better than anyone. Parenting His way lifts the pressure of feeling like we must have all the answers. Instead, we’re invited to seek wisdom from the One who knows all.

I share personal stories of how God's Word has given me the words to speak and the actions to take—sometimes far beyond what I could have come up with on my own. The Bible is full of practical truths and guiding principles that equip parents to lead with love, wisdom, and confidence.

You'll be encouraged to speak life over your children—even in moments of correction—and reminded that we can’t pour out what we haven’t poured in. That’s why I encourage every parent to connect with a Bible-based church, read the Word, or simply listen to it daily. When you fill yourself with the Word, it will overflow into your parenting.

Tune in and be inspired to parent with purpose, with peace, and with God at the center.
