We're back! After a house move (and a very long, podcast-free 12 months), Daniel and Michelle return to talk about something close to their hearts: raising four sons into strong, capable, Godly men.

This isn't a theory episode. It's decades of hands-on, occasionally chaotic, deeply intentional parenting distilled into practical wisdom for anyone raising boys — whether you've got one or a houseful.

In this episode, they cover:

• Why "emotional support eggs" (yes, really) can defuse half your teenage son's meltdowns
• The difference between an under-challenged boy and an over-challenged one — and why both are dangerous
• Why doing activities alongside your sons (not sitting them down face-to-face) unlocks real conversation
• How to hold kids accountable without sacrificing grace — and why "keeping the peace" isn't the same as making peace
• Letting boys take calculated risks, get physical, and serve in church
• Building family traditions that stick, even as life gets busier
• What Psalm 127 and Proverbs 22:6 actually mean for parents raising sons in today's world

Whether you're in the exhausting toddler years or watching your sons become young men before your eyes, this conversation will encourage you to see your boys — and the hard work of raising them — as the gift Scripture says they are.

Scripture referenced: Psalm 127:3-5, Proverbs 22:6
