In this episode of They Come With Instructions, we explore the powerful truth that children - starting as early as infancy - learn more from what they observe than what they're told. Our actions, attitudes, and habits become the blueprint our children follow. As the Bible reminds us, we are to teach by precept and example. This episode encourages parents to reflect the consistency between what we say and how we live. Because more than our words, our lives are the lessons our children carry forward.

In Part 2 of my candid conversation with my eldest son, Duke, we go even deeper. His thoughtful pauses, raw honesty, and deep questions bring powerful insight to the realities of parenting—especially when things don’t go as planned.

Duke courageously asks a question that many parents quietly wrestle with: What do you do when you raise your children according to God’s Word, but they don’t live up to those expectations? We explore that question and more, with transparency, grace, and even some well-timed humor.

This episode is for every parent who has planted seeds in faith and may be still waiting for the harvest. It’s a reminder that parenting God’s way is not about perfection—it’s about obedience, love, and trusting that His Word never fails.

You’ll laugh, reflect, and walk away uplifted and encouraged to stay the course—because His way is still the right way.

Conversations with the Poster Child – An Interview with My Son, Duke

In this heartfelt and candid episode, I sit down with my oldest son, Duke—the one I proudly call the "poster child" for They Come with Instructions. Though his journey hasn’t been without challenges and mistakes, Duke’s story is a powerful testament to resilience, redemption, and the fruit of biblical parenting.

With thoughtful pauses, brutal honesty, and a witty sense of humor, Duke shares his experiences with refreshing transparency. His life reflects the strength and dignity that can emerge when biblical principles are planted early and nurtured with love, discipline, and grace. Even in the face of setbacks, the seeds of godly instruction took root—and now they bear witness to the truth that parenting God’s way works.

This episode will remind and encourage parents that God's Word never returns void. It's a conversation every family should hear—filled with truth, hope, and a few good laughs along the way.
