Helping Our Kids See Around Corners

Ever tried to warn your kids about something and had them roll their eyes so hard it echoed? As dads, we’ve been down some rough roads—and part of our job is helping our kids avoid the same potholes. But how we offer that wisdom can make all the difference. Come on too strong and we sound like a lecture. Stay too quiet and we miss a chance to guide them. If you want to be heard and influential with your kids, this one’s for you.

In today’s episode, Kent and Lawson dive into how to offer wise counsel that connects, using Solomon’s masterclass in Proverbs 7 as a guide. They tackle questions like:

• How do we talk about modern dangers—porn, fame, vanity, etc.—without sounding like we’re yelling from a mountaintop?
• How do we guide with humility, not certainty?
• How do we root our advice in relationship, share it through story, and still make the consequences clear?

At the end of the day, our kids don’t need a fortune-teller. They need a father who’s humble, present, and willing to step in, without being a know-it-all. Let’s dive in.
