What is the goal of parenting? In Part 1 of this two-part series, we explore a biblical philosophy of parenting and consider what should shape the way Christians think about raising their children. We discuss the heart of discipline, the importance of loving authority, some of the pitfalls of modern “gentle parenting,” and the biblical truths that should remain at the center of our approach to parenting.ResourcesDon't Make Me Count to Three by Ginger HubbardWise Words for Mom by Ginger HubbardEpisode 32: Authority with Jonathan LeemanEpisode 56: Why You Should Read Paradise LostEpisode 38: Digital Liturgies with Samuel JamesSpiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life by Donald Whitney The Duty of Parents by J.C.

In this episode, I'm talking honestly about something so many parents worry about - a child who “won't read”, says reading is boring, or hasn't picked up a book in years.I explain why this isn't a motivation problem at all, but a skills gap in reading identity, attention, language, and confidence. And once you understand what's really going on underneath the surface, helping your child become a reader becomes far more straightforward.I walk you through the wide‑lens view of reading: why some children haven't yet found the right book, why reading has accidentally become a chore, and why the digital world makes sustained attention harder for every child.I also share five practical things you can start today to help your child rediscover a love of reading that lasts for life.So take a seat, pour yourself a cuppa, and enjoy the conversation…Highlights from this episode:01:00 - The biggest predictor of academic success04:03 - Why reading skills matter08:06 - 5 things that actually help12:06 - Let your kids read whatever they want16:38 - Model reading to your children19:22 - Stop doing these things right now

Why does your child resist Arabic? It's rarely the language itself. It's how Arabic arrives. In this episode, taken from our monthly Mindset and Intention Circle, I talk about desire before discipline: correction, tired days, our own fears, and my story of refusing Arabic for years.We cannot force desire. We can only create the conditions for it to grow, make du'a, and leave the results to Allah.Take it further with the 5-day challenge, in the classroom of our free community.----
Send us Fan MailYour children are learning from more than the lessons you intentionally teach them. They are also watching how you work, communicate, handle stress, treat your spouse, use your phone, manage money, respond to failure, and keep your promises.In this episode of The Mindset Cafe, Devan Gonzalez explores parenting through example and the behaviors children may begin to view as normal inside their homes. This is not an episode about being a perfect parent. It is a conversation about self-awareness, integrity, presence, and recognizing the lessons being demonstrated through everyday actions.What does your child learn when you make a mistake? What do they see when you are angry? Does your work ethic demonstrate responsibility, or could your constant absence teach them that success requires sacrificing relationships? Are you giving your children your attention, or are you only physically near them while your mind remains somewhere else?Devan breaks down modeled behavior across work, marriage, money, fitness, failure, emotional control, technology, promises, and adversity. He also explains why repairing mistakes in front of your children may be as meaningful as trying to avoid mistakes altogether.Your kids may forget some of what you tell them, but they are constantly forming an understanding of life through what they repeatedly experience around them.The question is not only, “What am I teaching my children?”The deeper question is, “What am I normalizing for them?”Support the showThanks for listening & being part of the Mindset Cafe Community.----------------------------------------------Follow On Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/mindsetcafepodcast/ https://www.instagram.com/devan.gonzalez/Let me know what topics or questions you want covered so we can help you achieve your goals faster.----------------------------------------------Are you taking the right supplements to maximize your mind and body in fitness & health.

In this episode of Growing Hearts, we explore what Pope Leo XIV's encyclical Magnifica Humanitas has to say about artificial intelligence—and, more importantly, what it means for family life. For parents, this raises important questions about the habits we are forming in our children. How do we teach them to use AI as a tool rather than a replacement for thinking? How do we encourage honesty, responsibility, wonder and creativity in a world where information and answers are always just a click away? Joining us are Martin Fitzgerald and Charbel Doumit, teachers at Redfield College, who unpack the key messages of Magnifica Humanitas and explore the role of parents and schools in helping young people navigate this rapidly changing world, sharing practical ideas for healthy boundaries around technology. Key Topics Discussed: How Pope Leo XIV's encyclical helps us reflect on the opportunities and challenges of this new technological age. How technology can be a valuable tool when it is guided by wisdom and keeps human dignity at the center. Why giving children opportunities to think, wonder, create and work things out for themselves is so important. Forming children in honesty and responsibility: Helping young people use AI in ways that support genuine learning and allow them to take ownership of their work. Practical ways families can create space for conversation, relationships, reflection, reading, prayer and time away from devices. Helping children use AI wisely: Encouraging young people to ask good questions, think critically, check information and use AI to extend rather than replace their thinking. Join the Conversation AI is becoming part of everyday family and school life. How can we help our children navigate it without losing sight of what makes us human?

Raising Children with Adab in a "Me First" World | Suhaifa Tootla by Radio Islam
The dictionary defines integrity as “firm adherence to a code of moral values” and “the quality of being complete or undivided.” Integrity describes a life that is united in a complete and consistent whole. An intregrated life is one where words, thoughts and actions consistently reflect the will of God for our lives. It is a life where one's faith in God is woven in and through every area of life, including all that one does. . . even when no one else is looking. What can we do to counter the loss of integrity in today's youth culture and lives of our kids? First, take stock of yourself and take corrective action where necessary. Second, map out a lifestyle of 24/7 integrity where your faith intersects with and permeates all of life. Live out your faith in your marriage, vocation, play, media use, sexuality, and conversation. And finally, map out a life of integrity for your kids by pointing out and challenging their duplicity in the context of a loving and supportive relationship.

What's the real key to raising a child who genuinely loves learning - not because of school pressure, grades, or how much homework they do, but because curiosity and resilience have been built from the inside out?As a psychologist and parent, I've seen again and again that children do the best academically and emotionally when we stop focusing on homework battles, reading resistance, or low motivation, and instead think about the deeper skills that make learning fun and self‑driven.In today's episode, I walk you through the two main skills every child needs - curiosity and resilience - and give you five practical ways you can start strengthening them today.From following your child's natural spark, to praising the process instead of the outcome, to letting them see you get things wrong, protecting unstructured time, and resisting the urge to rescue them too quickly… these are the tools that build lifelong learners who don't need pushing, bribing or nagging.This episode will help your child become more confident, capable, motivated and engaged, at school and beyond.So take a seat, pour yourself a cuppa, and enjoy the conversation…Highlights from this episode:00:47 - Playing the long game05:39 - 2 skill gaps you need to know08:41 - Failing is how you learn13:19 - Identity and outcome15:55 - Get things wrong18:30 - Teach your kids to be curious
What does the Bible actually say about the Orthodox Church, apostolic authority, praying to saints, icons, baptism, salvation, and the claim that Orthodoxy is the historic Church founded by Christ?In this episode, Alex Sorin joins Nephilim Death Squad for an extended discussion and defense of Orthodox Christianity. Alex is an Orthodox Christian and lawyer who explains how studying Scripture, church history, and the early Church Fathers ultimately led him from a Romanian Pentecostal background, through Baptist theology, and into Eastern Orthodoxy.The conversation examines some of the biggest disagreements between Orthodox Christians and other Christians, including whether salvation is found exclusively within the Orthodox Church, apostolic succession, baptism, confession, church authority, and the relationship between faith and works.They dig into John 20 and Christ giving the apostles authority to forgive and retain sins, Matthew 18 and the language of binding and loosing, Matthew 23 and the Seat of Moses, Revelation 3:9 and the distinction between worship and veneration, John 11:25 and the resurrection, Romans 2 and Revelation 20 on judgment according to deeds, Galatians 5 on factions and division, Ephesians 1 on the Church as the body of Christ, and Hebrews 8 on earthly symbols reflecting heavenly realities.Alex also explains the Orthodox understanding of saints, intercessory prayer, praying for the dead, the Eucharist, Mary, her sinlessness, why Orthodoxy rejects the Roman Catholic doctrine of the Immaculate Conception, Orthodox bishops and priests, Divine Liturgy, Sacred Tradition, ecumenical councils, and why Orthodox iconography looks so different from Western Christian art.The discussion eventually turns toward modern Orthodox internet culture, Jay Dyer, Andrew Wilson, Owen Benjamin, debate culture, the Trinity, political converts to Orthodoxy, accusations of heresy, and whether aggressive apologetics can sometimes push people away from Christianity rather than toward Christ.Where do you land? Is Eastern Orthodoxy the historic continuation of the apostolic Church, or have later traditions added unnecessary barriers between Christians and Christ?

As a parent, mentor, or simply someone who cares about helping others grow, it's easy to wonder what truly shapes a person's future.In this episode, I sit down with Margot Machol Bisnow, author of Raising an Entrepreneur, to talk about what she learned after interviewing entrepreneurs from all walks of life. Her biggest takeaway? Success isn't about perfect grades or following a traditional path. It's about having someone who believes in you, encourages your passions, and helps you learn from failure.What I loved most about this conversation is that it isn't really about raising entrepreneurs. It's about raising people who are confident enough to trust themselves, resilient enough to adapt when life doesn't go as planned, and courageous enough to pursue what truly lights them up. We also explore how parents can shift from trying to create the "perfect" path to helping their children discover their own. Margot shares why embracing mistakes, finding meaningful mentors, and creating a supportive family environment can have a lasting impact long into adulthood. Whether you're raising children or reflecting on your own journey, I hope this conversation reminds you that sometimes the greatest gift we can give someone is the confidence to become who they were meant to be.In this episode, we discuss:Why believing in your child matters more than having all the answersHow passion helps build confidence and resilienceWhy failure is an important part of growthThe role mentors and supportive families play in a child's futureHow to encourage children to follow their own path with purposeConnect with Margot:Website: https://raisinganentrepreneur.com/Order Raising an Entrepreneur: https://a.co/d/0dGoUnnuInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/margotbisnow/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/margot-machol-bisnow-a29550b5/Adventure on!Send us Fan Mail Support the show✨ Join the Spiritual Horse Seeker Summit

Episode 007 Notes — You Don't Get These Years Back Main Idea Parenting has a clock on it. You do not get the years back to enjoy your children, and you do not get the years back to train them. Be present, make memories, establish boundaries, and do the hard work while you still have the opportunity. Key Points 1. The Clock Is Running Childhood moves faster than parents realize. Many “last times” happen without us knowing they are the last. Do not spend every season wishing for the next one. You can make more money, but you cannot make your child six years old again. 2. Present, But Not Really Present Phones, work, schedules, sports, and constant activity can steal attention. Children know the difference between being heard and being listened to. Families can be busy together without actually being connected. Ask: “Am I building a childhood, or just managing a schedule?” 3. Stop Rushing Through Childhood Every stage has frustrations, but every stage passes. Ordinary moments often become the memories children carry. More activities and more stuff do not necessarily mean a better childhood. Presence often matters more than expensive experiences. 4. Enjoying Them Does Not Mean Indulging Them Loving childhood does not mean removing boundaries. Children can have fun, make memories, and still be expected to obey. “They're little” should not become an excuse for avoiding correction. Small behaviors can become larger problems if consistently tolerated. 5. Parenting Gets Harder When You Keep Postponing It It is harder to establish at fifteen what should have been normal at five. Delayed parenting often means undoing years of reinforced behavior. Your child may be unhappy with boundaries, but unhappiness does not mean the boundary is wrong. If you have waited too long, start now rather than waiting another year. 6. What Do You Want Them to Remember? Home should contain both relationship and responsibility. Children need laughter and limits. They need affection and correction. They need memories and maturity. Do not judge every parenting decision by whether your child appreciates it today. Key Quotes / Sound Bites “You don't get these years back.” “You can lose the years to enjoy them, and you can lose the years to train them.” “Are we building a childhood, or are we just managing a schedule?” “You can make more money. You cannot make your child six years old again.” “Enjoy them while they're little. Train them while they're little too.” “Easy now can become very hard later.” “Hard now. Ready later.” “Parent the season you're in.” “Enjoy the season—and use the season.” “Raise them while you have them.” Practical Challenge for Parents This week: Put the phone down during intentional family time. Create one unscheduled block of time together. Eat at least one meal without screens. Identify one boundary that needs to be reinforced. Follow through on one consequence without negotiating. Do something simple with your child that creates connection. Ask yourself: What am I doing today that I will be glad I did when they are grown? Closing Reminder Your job is not to keep your children little forever. It is to love them deeply, train them faithfully, and prepare them to stand on their own. Raise them ready. Hard now. Ready later.
America has a crisis of young men—and Tony Woodlief believes fatherhood, faith, and stronger communities could be part of the answer. On The Karol Markowicz Show, Karol sits down with writer, political scientist, and author Tony Woodlief for a wide-ranging conversation about fatherhood, masculinity, parenting, faith, politics, education, artificial intelligence, and finding purpose in an increasingly disconnected culture. Woodlief explains why he believes too many young men have been left without meaningful friendships, employment, education, or connections to institutions and communities. He discusses the difference between simply being a parent and intentionally being a father, why modern portrayals of masculinity often miss the mark, and what can be done to help men searching for direction and purpose. Karol and Tony also explore his unconventional approach to politics and federalism, including why he believes massive school districts have weakened parents’ control over their children's education and why breaking them into smaller, locally accountable districts could produce better results. Plus, Tony offers his provocative prediction about artificial intelligence and the future of writing and art, explains why AI may expose rather than destroy bad creative work, and shares the simple daily practice he believes can dramatically improve your life: intentional gratitude. It’s a thoughtful conversation about raising children, becoming better men, strengthening families, reclaiming local control, and finding meaning in a rapidly changing America.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
What if the key to building a successful life isn’t having everything figured out—but simply doing the job that’s right in front of you? On this episode of The Karol Markowicz Show, Karol sits down with Matthew Hennessey, editor of Free Expression at The Wall Street Journal, for a wide-ranging conversation about career, marriage, ambition, failure, and finding your path in life. Hennessey shares his unconventional journey from chasing an acting career in Hollywood to becoming a journalist and eventually landing at The Wall Street Journal. He explains why meeting his wife became a pivotal moment in both his personal life and career, and why young people may have it backwards when they believe they need to establish themselves professionally before getting married. Karol and Matthew also discuss the value of taking risks, learning to do difficult things, supporting children as they pursue uncertain dreams, and why success often comes one small step at a time. Hennessey also explains what The Wall Street Journal represents beyond finance and Wall Street, shares his concerns about the possibility of a major economic downturn, and offers a surprisingly optimistic perspective on artificial intelligence and the economy. Finally, he leaves listeners with a simple piece of advice that has guided his career and life: Do the job that’s in front of you, and the future will take care of itself.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Is it still possible to pay off a house before you're 30? If so, how can we support our children toward this goal? The dads talk about how young men they know have achieved this – and what biblical principles laid the foundation. They discuss the connection between obedience and diligence…whether childhood is for playing…focusing on productive skills like carpentry, rather than football…and ultimately, seeing our work as participation in God's own building.

Episode 004: Obedience Is Only the Beginning – Training Their Heart, Not Just Their Behavior Episode Overview Is getting your child to obey enough? In this episode of the Raising Lions Podcast, Pastor Joseph explains why biblical parenting must go beyond behavior management and focus on shepherding a child's heart. While obedience is a command from God and the foundation of a healthy home, it was never intended to be the finish line. The ultimate goal is raising children whose character reflects Christ—even when no one is watching. You'll learn how to intentionally cultivate biblical character instead of simply reacting to bad behavior, discover the everyday parenting habits that either strengthen or undermine character, and walk away with a practical, year-long plan to help your children grow into faithful, responsible adults. In This Episode Why obedience is the beginning—not the destination The difference between behavior modification and heart transformation Why God is concerned with the heart, not just outward actions Seven biblical character traits every parent should intentionally teach: Work Ethic Honesty Respect Self-Control Humility Gratitude Responsibility How children actually learn character through: Watching their parents Chores and responsibility Delayed gratification Serving others Accountability and consequences Modern parenting habits that unintentionally weaken character A practical one-year plan for intentionally developing biblical virtues in your home Key Scriptures Ephesians 6:1 Proverbs 4:23 Deuteronomy 6:4–9 Galatians 5:22–23 James 1:2–4 Hebrews 12:5–11 Proverbs (selected passages on diligence, wisdom, and responsibility) Key Takeaways Obedience without heart transformation is incomplete. Behavior is the fruit; the heart is the root. Character is developed through consistent daily habits—not occasional lectures. Parents prepare children for adulthood by allowing responsibility, hardship, and consequences to become teachers. The goal of parenting is not merely raising obedient children but raising adults who faithfully follow Christ. Weekly Challenge Choose one biblical character trait to focus on this month. Pray over it daily. Read Scripture that reinforces it. Create opportunities for your children to practice it. Encourage growth when you see it. Correct failures with grace and truth. Discuss it around the dinner table throughout the month. Repeat the process with a new virtue each month, and by the end of the year you'll have intentionally cultivated twelve biblical character traits instead of spending twelve months simply reacting to bad behavior.

What is it actually like to grow up in a polyamorous family?There are plenty of opinions about how non-monogamy affects children, but very few of those opinions come from people who actually lived it.In this re-released episode of Nope, We're Not Monogamous, I sit down with educator, author, and activist Koe Creation, who grew up in a polyamorous family and now helps people navigate conversations around relationships, gender, sexuality, and chosen family.Together we explore what childhood was really like, how parents can create emotionally safe homes, and why honesty, trust, and communication matter so much more than whether your relationships fit traditional expectations.We also talk about navigating judgment from the outside world, introducing partners to children, "meta parents," and the importance of giving kids age-appropriate information without making relationships feel secret or shameful.Whether you're already raising children in a non-monogamous family, considering opening your relationship, or simply curious about what healthy alternative family structures can look like, this conversation offers a thoughtful perspective that challenges many of the assumptions our culture still holds.In this episode we discuss:What it was like growing up in a polyamorous familyHow children experience non-monogamy differently than adults often assumeTalking with kids about relationships in age-appropriate waysCreating emotional safety through honesty instead of secrecyNavigating schools, extended family, and social stigmaThe role of chosen family and "meta parents"Why communication matters more than family structureThe Platinum Rule: treating people the way they want to be treatedWhat today's media still gets wrong about polyamoryTimestamps00:00 Why people misunderstand polyamorous families01:25 Meet Koe Creation06:00 Choosing non-monogamy for yourself12:30 Growing up outside traditional family structures21:50 Privacy, secrecy, and navigating the outside world28:50 Talking to children about non-monogamy40:00 The Platinum Rule and healthier relationships51:00 Representation, media, and the future of polyamorous familiesConnect with Koe CreationWebsite: https://www.koecreation.comX/Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/koecreationBooks MentionedThis Heart Holds Many: My Life as the Non-Binary Millennial of a Polyamorous Family by Koe CreationSex at Dawn by Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jethá❤️ If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, or share it with someone who could use a little reassurance that there are many ways to build a loving family.If you're navigating jealousy, opening a relationship, or trying to create healthier, more secure connections, you can book a free Clarity Chat with me at elleciapaine.com/chat.About the PodcastNope, We're Not Monogamous explores the real lives of people creating love outside traditional relationship structures.

Tawakkul: Raising Children Who Turn to Allah in Every Situation | Ml I Valli by Radio Islam
There was a time when the premise of nanny robots and artificial intelligence raising our children was merely the subject of Steven Spielberg's futuristic sci-fi films. The future, it seems, is now.rnrnAs AI enters nurseries, playrooms, and classrooms, parents are being sold a "smart" childhood at every turn. With mainstream use of artificial intelligence, the power of parent talk and human interaction in childhood development has become even clearer. In her latest book, Human Raised, author Dana Suskind, MD, reveals the possibilities and perils of using AI and related technologies for child-rearing. What do parents and caregivers need to know to assess individual technologies and foster the skills needed to thrive growing up in an AI-driven future?rnrnDr. Suskind has authored over 45 scientific publications and is a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics and a Fellow for the Council on Early Childhood. She is also the founder and Co-Director of the TMW Center for Early Learning + Public Health, Founding Director of the Pediatric Cochlear Implant Program, and Professor of Surgery and Pediatrics at the University of Chicago. Her previous books include the New York Times bestsellers Parent Nation and Thirty Million Words.
In this episode of The Built Different Podcast, Dr. Zach Clinton is joined by his father, Dr. Tim Clinton, president of the American Association of Christian Counselors, for a conversation with actor, author, and outspoken advocate for faith and family, Kirk Cameron. Together they unpack the cultural battle underway for the hearts and minds of the next generation, from the messaging embedded in children's entertainment and education, to Kirk's own national library book tour and the pushback he encountered along the way. Kirk shares why he decided the church can't just complain about culture but must create something better, discussing his new family-centered television show built to give parents trustworthy, biblically grounded content. The conversation turns practical as Kirk and Dr. Clinton talk through the shift from a play-based to a phone-based childhood, what it actually looks like to rescue kids from a corrupted culture inside the home, and the two or three things children need most from their parents to develop real character, faith, and resilience. It's a candid, hope-filled charge to parents, grandparents, and mentors that culture may be loud, but a parent who speaks truth and shows up with intentionality remains one of the most powerful forces shaping the next generation. Kirk closes with what gives him hope for the families choosing to lead with courage in this moment.

In this message, Samuel Goulet continues The Mountain Church's family series by exploring how the culture of our homes shapes the people we become and the impact we have on the world around us. He walks through five important questions every family can ask: what is being taught, nurtured, built, encouraged, and reached? With practical examples and heartfelt insight, Samuel encourages families to make Jesus the foundation of their home, teach faith relationally, nurture growth with intention, speak words that build up, and create homes that reflect the love, generosity, and presence of God to others.

As parents, it's easy to believe that everything depends on us. If we just choose the right curriculum, set the right boundaries, or say the right words, our children will turn out well. But Scripture reminds us that we were never meant to carry that burden alone. In this episode, bestselling author and Bible teacher Jodie Berndt joins Davies Owens to explore one of the most powerful, and often most neglected, tools God has given parents: prayer. Drawing from decades of experience as a mother, speaker, and author of the Praying the Scriptures series, Jodie shares practical ways to pray God's Word over our children through every season of life. Rather than treating prayer as a last resort or a religious obligation, this conversation invites parents to see it as a daily relationship with God that not only shapes our children, but also transforms our own hearts. Tune in to hear: Why prayer is far more than asking God for outcomes How praying Scripture gives depth and confidence to your prayers Finding peace in seasons of waiting and uncertainty Encouragement for parents carrying guilt, anxiety, or fear Practical ways to begin praying, even if you don't know where to start How prayer changes us while we wait for God to work in our children Why no child is ever beyond God's reach Whether you're raising toddlers, teenagers, or adult children, this episode offers biblical encouragement to entrust your family to the One who loves them even more than you do.

Modern parenting has lost its way—and many parents have surrendered authority in their own homes. In this first episode of Raising Lions, Pastor Joseph explains why biblical parenting requires clear authority, consistent discipline, practical consequences, and intentional spiritual instruction. You'll learn: Why protecting children from every consequence prepares them for crisis What Deuteronomy 6 teaches about the parent's responsibility The difference between biblical authority and abuse Why instruction without accountability becomes noise How to establish three non-negotiable rules Why consequences should be clear, reasonable, and consistent How parents can begin restoring order in the home Resources mentioned: Raising Children in the Lion's Den Raising Lions Rules and Consequences Bundle Raising Lions Subscriber Community Raising Lions is about raising biblical and courageous children in a hostile culture.
Over a hundred years ago parents were also looking to parenting books for advice. What does this one, "The Best Method for Raising Children" from 1924, has to say about caring for newborns, corporal punishment or regulating your emotions? You'll be surprised.
In this episode of the Fairest Love Podcast, we sat down with Dr. Greg and Lisa Popcak to explore a powerful new study on what helps Catholic families raise children who remain faithful into adulthood. The conversation reveals why so many parenting strategies fall short: kids don't just need church attendance or busy schedules, they need to experience faith as the source of warmth, connection, and peace in the home.From family prayer and shared meals to working, playing, talking, and praying together, the Popcaks offer practical, research-backed ways to build a more connected domestic church.If you're a parent who wants to strengthen your family bonds and pass on faith in a lasting way, this episode is full of encouragement, clarity, and hope.https://catholiccounselors.com/

With a special distinguished guest Peter N. Stearns, author of Anxious Parents: A History of Modern Childrearing in America; co-author of The American Child: the transformation of childhood since World War II, Professor Emeritus at George Mason University, In this episode of The Parent Hope Podcast, I'm joined by preeminent social historian Peter N. Stearns, whose work has been deeply influential in shaping my understanding of how childhood and parenting have evolved over time. We will explore the historical roots of today's parenting culture—from rising anxiety about children's outcomes to the growing expectations placed on parents to constantly guide, manage, and optimize their children's lives. As I discuss in The Parenting Paradox, when parents are caught in a cycle of increasing effort and concern, it can inadvertently add to the very pressures children face. This conversation brings much-needed context to that paradox—helping parents step back, see the bigger picture, and reconsider what truly supports children's and their own wellbeing. This is an episode about clarity, perspective, and relief. Because when we understand where these expectations come from, we're better able to loosen their hold—and support our children with greater confidence in their natural capacities. Peter N. Stearns is Professor of History Emeritus at George Mason University, where he taught courses in world history and social history. In 2021, Dr. Stearns received the American Historical Association recognition for a lifetime of distinguished scholarship He has taught previously at Harvard, the University of Chicago, Rutgers, and Carnegie Mellon; he was educated at Harvard University. Stearns is a past vice president of the American Historical Association. He has served as chair of the Advanced Placement World History committee and founded and served as editor-in-chief of the Journal of Social History. Stearns is the author or editor of over 100 books and innumerable articles.

Can a celebrity really keep their family a secret in 2026? One very famous parent is believed to have two children that most people don't even know exist, or do they? Plus, it's school holidays, which means one thing: Dad-cation season. But after we witnessed one father do absolutely nothing on a long-haul flight while his partner did everything, we need to ask... are we still having the same parenting conversation? And finally, remember all the dumb things you said before you had kids? Turns out, pre-parenthood you was absolutely delusional.

As a pediatrician, I was not asking enough questions about my patients' periods. We ask when the last one was. We rarely go deeper than that. And after this conversation, I will never approach it the same way again. I sat down with my friend and colleague Dr. Natalie Crawford, reproductive endocrinologist, fertility specialist, and author of The Fertility Formula. Here is what I want every parent raising a girl to understand: the menstrual cycle is not just a monthly inconvenience. It is one of the most important windows into your daughter's hormonal health, her long-term fertility, and her overall wellbeing. And the symptoms we keep brushing off as "just puberty" or "just a bad period" are often the first clues to conditions that will matter deeply later in life. In this episode, we cover: Why the menstrual cycle is a vital sign and what that means for the girls in your life The warning signs parents and pediatricians too often dismiss as normal What a first period should actually look like, and when irregular cycles need to be taken seriously Hypothalamic amenorrhea: the condition linked to over-exercising, under-eating, and chronic stress that silently affects estrogen during some of the most critical years of development PCOS in teens: why it does not always look the way doctors expect, and why so many girls get missed Thyroid disease and how it shows up in the menstrual cycle before anything else Endometriosis in adolescents: when period pain is not normal and what to do about it Why birth control is sometimes the right treatment but not always the full answer How to advocate for your daughter when you feel dismissed at the doctor's office The referral path from pediatrician to OB to specialist, and when to push for more Connect with Dr. Natalie Crawford on Instagram @nataliecrawfordmd, visit her site https://www.nataliecrawfordmd.com/ and buy her new book: https://a.co/d/0byHPtzr Here is the revised list of 20 chapters, spaced out chronologically to cover the entire duration of the provided text for "Podcast Natalie Crawford Final.mp3.txt": 00:00:00 The Paternalistic History of Women's Health 00:01:19 Introducing Dr. Natalie Crawford & The Fertility Formula 00:02:56 The Stigma of Cycle Tracking and Menstrual Shame 00:04:53 Dr. Mona's Personal Battle with Secondary Infertility 00:06:00 Overcoming the Unknown and Paternalism in Medicine 00:08:11 Empowering Younger Women to Advocate for Their Bodies 00:10:27 Raising Children to Trust Their Physical Cues 00:11:32 Dr. Crawford's Personal Experience with Pregnancy Loss 00:13:13 Shifting Medical Research Toward Natural Fertility 00:16:33 Cultivating Fast Vulnerability in Doctor-Patient Bonds 00:18:15 The Ovarian Vault and the Biology of Puberty 00:20:25 The Brain-Ovary Dance: Follicular vs. Luteal Phases 00:21:59 Static on the Walkie-Talkie: Environmental Disruptors 00:23:40 Red Flags: School Refusal and Endometriosis Risk 00:26:03 Beyond the Basics: Upgrading Pediatric Screening Questions 00:30:11 Deep Dive into Hypothalamic Amenorrhea 00:33:14 The Metabolic Realities of Living with PCOS 00:41:43 The Diagnostic Criteria for PCOS and Clinical Workups 00:44:16 Thyroid Disease and Its Impact on Reproductive Hormones 00:48:15 Long-Term Health Risks Linked to Untreated Infertility Our podcasts are also now on YouTube.

Parents often spend so much time navigating the needs of today that it's easy to lose sight of where we're ultimately headed. But what if raising children begins with keeping the end in mind? In this episode, Davies Owens welcomes Dr. Jennifer Freeman of the Rooted Families Initiative to discuss a framework for family discipleship that helps parents understand the unique opportunities and challenges of every stage of childhood—from infancy through young adulthood. Drawing from decades of mentoring college students and families, Jennifer shares practical wisdom for raising children who grow into wise, discerning adults who love Christ. Tune in to hear: Why parenting is most effective when we keep the end goal in view. Jennifer's five stages of family discipleship and how each stage requires something different from parents. How to encourage healthy independence without withdrawing guidance. Why meaningful conversations become increasingly important during the teen years. How parents can prepare young adults for adulthood without trying to control every outcome. Why seasons of questioning and doubt can become important milestones in developing mature faith. Practical encouragement for trusting God's work in your children's lives through every stage. Rather than offering another parenting formula, Jennifer encourages parents to see themselves as beloved caregivers, partnering with God as He forms their children over time. Whether you're holding a newborn, navigating middle school, or preparing to launch a young adult, this conversation offers hope, perspective, and practical guidance for every season.

The data is in, and it reads like a commentary on Deuteronomy 6. A major new study covered by Fox News found that children raised in homes where faith was discussed several times a week, where both parents attended church, and where fathers built strong bonds with their children were substantially more likely to remain faithful as adults. Kevin and Danny discuss the findings...and make the case that the means God has always ordained for generational faith is not the Sunday school or the youth group...but the home.
How do we faithfully raise children in a culture that constantly fragments their attention? In this episode of Base Camp Live, Davies Owens welcomes Suzanne Phillips of Beacon Parent for a thoughtful and deeply encouraging conversation about parenting in an age of distraction, anxiety, and cultural confusion. Rather than offering another parenting checklist, Suzanne shares a biblical framework for becoming the kind of parent your children can follow. Together, they explore what Suzanne calls the seven facets of a “Beacon Parent,” including the supremacy of Christ, expressed honor, intentional legacy, transformative wisdom, humble courage, secure identity, and personal responsibility. Along the way, they discuss: • Why everything starts at home • The difference between knowledge and wisdom • How technology is reshaping childhood • Why honor is disappearing from families • The dangers of fear-based parenting • Why children need gradual responsibility • How parents can lead with clarity instead of anxiety This conversation is both practical and hopeful for parents seeking to raise grounded, thoughtful, Christ-centered children in a rapidly changing world.
