This Uber Driver’s Story Is Every Dad’s Wake-Up Call

What happens when your kids start asking hard questions about faith?

Kent recently had a fascinating—and heartbreaking—Uber ride with a driver who grew up in a family of pastors but walked away from Christianity completely. His reason? He says every question he asked about faith growing up was shut down. That conversation got us thinking.

As dads, how we respond when our kids ask honest questions about God, the Bible, and faith might shape their spiritual trajectory for decades. Are we creating space for those questions, or accidentally pushing them away?

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why questions from your kids are actually a good sign
• The danger of shutting down honest curiosity about faith
• How Jesus modeled asking questions
• What to do when your kids ask something you don’t know how to answer
• How to disciple your kids without pretending you have everything figured out

Your kids will ask hard questions someday. The real question is whether they’ll feel comfortable bringing them to you, or if they’ll go anywhere but their dad for guidance. While we never have complete control over our kids, we can create an environment that fosters communication and honesty.
