Smartphones, Fitting In, and Trusting Your Dad With Alex Evans
What happens when your kids grow up and finally understand why you parented the way you did?
In this special father-and-son episode, Kent sits down with his oldest son Alex for an honest conversation about parenting decisions that didn’t always make sense in the moment: delayed cell phones, cultural boundaries, fitting in, dating, technology, and learning to wait.
From Alex’s perspective as a grown man, worship pastor, and husband, many of those frustrating “why can’t I?” moments now carry a completely different meaning.
This episode dives into:
- delayed gratification
- Christian parenting in a culture obsessed with fitting in
- helping kids stand apart instead of blend in
- raising sons who can think biblically
- the hidden lessons behind family rules
- why parenting is about more than behavior management
If you’ve ever wondered whether your kids will someday understand the hard choices you make as a parent, this conversation is for you.
