Welcome to episode 4 of 5 in our first Summer Series called, On Becoming Great Parents. We hope you download the pdf files that go along with these episodes (found in show notes below) and use them in your small groups, with your spouse, or as a companion guide to the content.

In this episode, Christi talks to Josh about honor, our identity as parents, and how the tension of letting our yes be yes and our no be no. This conversation was unscripted and heartfelt, as Christi got to the heart of how Josh sees his role as a father.

Josh and Christi talk about:

What it means to honor up and cast vision down through the generations
How to level up what you've been given from your parents without living in denial about the holes that were left from your upbringing
Letting your yes be yes and no be no and how to show up for our kids in a way they feel seen
