Imperfect Parenting

Family life is messy—loud, exhausting, and often overwhelming. But the everyday moments—car rides, meals, bedtime—can be sacred opportunities to point our kids to Jesus.This week on the Overcomers Podcast, I sit down with Adam Griffin, author and host of the Family Discipleship Podcast, to talk about leading our families in grace, not perfection. Adam shares his struggles with impatience and how embracing our weaknesses can deepen our parenting.We unpack simple but powerful practices—like the driveway prayer to reset before stepping inside, the sacredness of family meals, and the importance of consistency in shaping faith. And in a world where screens are discipling our kids faster than we are, Adam offers wisdom on keeping them engaged, guarding their hearts, and staying united as parents.You don’t have to be a perfect parent—just present, humble, and faithful.TOPICS DISCUSSEDParenting Challenges and Cultivating HumilityServing and Loving ImperfectlyHome Formation Through Routines and MilestonesFostering Family Connection Through CommunicationNavigating Different Parenting PhilosophiesNavigating Technological Challenges in ParentingParenting with CommunityGUEST RESOURCESFamily Discipleship PodcastFamily Discipleship BookAdam's Forthcoming BookFollow AdamFollow Family Discipleship PodcastFOLLOW and SUBSCRIBE:Instagram | Youtube | Website | NewsletterIf you’ve enjoyed this episode, one of the best ways to support the show and make sure others find it, is to subscribe and leave a review. Thank You!Thank you to our SponsorsCommunioCommunio is not another program. It’s a non-profit organization that comes alongside churches, training and equipping them to evangelize through the renewal of healthy relationships, marriages, and the family. Family structure is key for passing on faith to children, yet 72 percent of churches lack significant relationship ministry. That’s where Communio comes in. Communio has worked with hundreds of churches across the country. These churches have seen divorce rates drop – attendance rise – weekly generosity increase – and marriage and family bonds restored. Visit communio.org/overcomers to learn more about the Communio impact and how Communio can come alongside your church. Aqua TruHaving safe, clean water is the last thing you want to worry about, but unfortunately, According to extensive research by the Environmental Working Group, virtually every home in America has harmful contaminants in its tap water.
