In this episode of Parenting Next Gen, we’re asking the questions most people avoid:

• Are you too sensitive with your kids or are you just emotionally aware?

• Why do dads still get a bad rap in parenting conversations?
• What words actually come to mind when you think “mother” or “father”?
• And is stepparent love different… or just defined differently?

We unpack modern parenting roles, emotional identity, and how love shows up in blended families. Whether you're a biological parent, stepparent, or co-parent this episode challenges assumptions and makes space for empathy.

In this raw and reflective episode of Parenting Next Gen, we open up about the unspoken needs we had growing up and how they’ve shaped the way we show up as parents today.

From awkward conversations about sex and romance (or the lack of them) to the role of prayer in the home, we’re diving into the hard stuff:

• What age should you talk to your teen about sexuality and dating?
• Is prom becoming too much or is it just evolving with the times?
• Were you rebellious as a kid… and what would’ve made a difference?
• Are we modeling a life of faith or just hoping they figure it out?

We’re not here to blame; we’re here to break cycles, lead with love, and give our kids what we didn’t always receive: honesty, connection, and guidance.

If you’ve ever said, “I’m trying to parent differently than I was raised,” this episode is for you

This episode of Parenting Next Gen is loaded with real talk for real parents.

We tackle some of the biggest (and most uncomfortable) questions today’s parents face:

• Does having more money actually make you a better parent?
• Should teens be using AI? and how do we guide them through it?
• How do you talk to your kids about Christianity without sounding preachy?
• What can we do when our teens are facing depression, bullying, or silent battles?

It’s raw. It’s relevant. And it’s rooted in grace and growth.

Whether you’re feeling uncertain about technology, faith, or your finances, this episode will remind you that presence matters more than perfection.
