What if my kids are still just babies?
What if my kids are disinterested or even resistant/defiant teenagers?
What if my kids are older and we’ve neve done ANY spiritual conversations before?
What if my spouse is not a Christian OR we don’t see eye to eye on how to lead our family?
What if I keep losing my temper with my kids, like what if my behavior is a poor example to my kids?
What if our family is “too busy” for family discipleship?
What if I’m a parent but I don’t feel super theologically competent?

0:22.7	Bryant. How you doing today, Cassie? I'm good. So eager to hear just how many different ways
0:27.6	you have to introduce me in Chelsea. Well, I've got to try a new one every week. And so here also,
0:33.7	you've mentioned her already, but Chelsea Griffin, she's the Griffin Golf Academy, Coach of the Year, and she's my wife. Chelsea, how you doing today? I'm good. I always win when I run unopposed, so that's how I get to be the Griffin Golf Academy coach of the year. You are unopposed in this family. I mean, nothing but an advocate for you. Yeah. Well, today's episode is all about what ifs. And one of the things, we love to have conversations with our kids about hypotheticals. So I've got a little what if question for you guys before we get started. Cassie, you've brought up before that you were a fashion major in college, but you're a children's minister by trade.

2:02.1	I think I would be a really good truck driver, like an 18 wheel driver. Not because I'm good at
