Off The Bench with Heidi St. John Heidi St. John

You might notice that parents go awfully quiet during the teen years, because it’s hard to talk about the challenges of this season without throwing our kids under the bus or making them feel like a burden.

The transition from parenting little ones to parenting teenagers to shepherding and encouraging your young adult can be a bumpy one. Matt and Lisa Jacobson are joining me on the podcast today, you guys are going to love this conversation. It's going to give you hope and direction!

It’s clear that we have a crisis of fatherlessness in our culture today. God calls husbands and wives to the front lines of the culture wars, and He has given His people the tools to use His word to engage in the battle. Ben Myers joins me today to call up dads to a place of spiritual maturity within your home. It’s not as hard as we make it out to be, and it is necessary for our children.
