Real Parenting Mistakes And What We Learned About Faith

Send us Fan MailParenting can humble you fast, especially when you look back and realize how many moments you handled on autopilot. We’re Troy and Amy, and we get real about the parenting choices we’d change if we could rewind. No glossy “perfect family” story, just honest parenting mistakes, what they cost, and how God’s grace meets us in the chaos when we’re willing to own it.We talk through the small moments that turn into big memories: a child’s hard question about God after a difficult Bible story, the regret of backing away from Scripture instead of wrestling together, and the patience we wish we’d shown during early learning struggles. We share what it was like navigating dyslexia and ADD, how easy it is to expect schools to fix everything, and why advocacy, encouragement, and strength-based support matter so much for a child’s confidence.Then we zoom out to the pace of family life. We unpack missed connection from too much screen time, the power of simple routines like family dinners and better questions, and the way youth sports and travel ball can quietly take over finances, weekends, church, and emotional health. We also go into heavier territory: parenting teens with fear, rebuilding trust after overreactions, healthier discipline that explains the “why,” and how we wish we’d handled pornography exposure with calm truth instead of shame or avoidance.If you’re trying to do Christian parenting with more peace, better communication, and stronger family relationships, we hope this conversation helps you feel less alone and more equipped.
