You Can't Parent Alone

What happens to the picture you had for your kids when they grow into someone completely different? In this episode Tyler, Tim, Amy, and Maron wrap up the "Parenting" series with a roundtable conversation drawn from every stage of parenting: young kids, teenagers, adult children, and aging parents. Tim opens up about a year of injuries and how 51 years of marriage prepared him and Jennifer to care for each other. We talk about turning into our parents and what we chose to carry forward or leave behind. We explore the moment kids begin slipping out of your control, the fears that linger even when kids are grown, and why the future you pictured for your children may not be the one God has for them. We discuss why every child needs to be parented differently, and why no parent should try to do it alone. Tim shares a powerful story about the adults who stood by him as a teenager during a church split, a picture of what a village can mean for generations. Finally, we reflect on how watching our own parents age changes the way we prepare our kids for the future.
