Summary
Listener-favorite guest, (my son) Luke Swanson joins us for a fun and inspiring conversation about the character quality of self-discipline. Invite your kids to join you as Luke shares some of the ways he grew up to learn (and eventually appreciate!) self-discipline, and how he has grown to cultivate discipline in his own life.
Luke and I highlight Bible verses that inspire discipline and Luke shares stories from his competitive surf life that have helped him embrace discipline. He also points to his brand new addition to my Character Training Course: A video where Luke speaks TO THE KIDS sharing 5 regular disciplines that have shaped his life! (with a printable list to go with it.)
The Character Training Course opens on Monday, March 24 (for one week only) so be sure to check out the COURSE PAGE for all the details! Show notes and links can be found at:
