  • Reflections on Parenting: It's Okay To Say This Word . . . A Lot
    Apr 29 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Welcome to the Mentor's Table--a place where you can pull up a chair for deeper discussions about spiritual and emotional health with an uncomfortable focus on surrender.

    This episode may be unpopular, but I know the principle to be true. Listen the entire way through to hear not just why but what this word MUST be founded upon. It's counter-cultural, but more importantly, it's an act of obedience. It's a sign of surrender.
