    Ep. 0: Introducing Parenting On Purpose

    One of the greatest privileges an adult can have is parenting children. But let's face it, there are times we don't know what to do; times where we surprise ourselves and get it right; and then there are times where we question everything we have done. The truth is everyone arrives somewhere, but few people get there on purpose. What we have discovered is if we are not being purposeful as a parent, then we miss the moments to influence our children. That's why Josh Gagnon and Shane Becton have created this podcast. The hope? This will be a podcast that will encourage you, one where you can learn practical parenting skills, and for you to begin parenting on purpose.
