#raising kids

Scripture: Galatians 6:9

Much of fatherhood happens in routines that don't feel significant in the moment. This chapter reflects on how ordinary days, repeated efforts, and quiet consistency shape family life more than any single milestone ever could.

Most parents start out certain about what they'll never do. Then real life, exhaustion, and responsibility step in. These are the rules many parents swore they'd never enforce—and why they usually end up doing so anyway.

Scripture: Psalm 68:5

Before I understood love as connection, I learned it as survival. This chapter reflects on how childhood shaped my instincts, how self-reliance filled the gaps, and how becoming a parent transformed the way I understand love, family, and legacy.

Scripture: Deuteronomy 6:6-7

Legacy isn't built in speeches or milestones—it's formed quietly through habits, reactions, and the way ordinary moments are handled. This chapter reflects on what children learn simply by watching, long before they ever understand the lesson.

Parents worry about perfection, mistakes, and long-term outcomes. Kids usually don't. These are the common concerns that weight heavily on parents—but rarely register with children at all.
