Summary
Most parents are so busy managing childhood they never stop to ask: what kind of adult am I actually building? In this episode, Daniel and Allison Hartman make the case that the shift starts with a single decision — to stop parenting for right now and start parenting for twenty years from now. That means handing kids real responsibility before you think they're ready, making family devotions a non-negotiable anchor in the chaos, and keeping your eyes fixed on the only finish line that actually matters: a fully formed disciple. This isn't a conversation about behavior management. It's about what it looks like to build people — on purpose, with conviction, from the ground up. In this episode: Why empowering children through real responsibility changes everything How family devotions create the spiritual backbone your kids will carry into adulthood Why discipleship — not achievement, not college, not success — is the ultimate goal of Christian parenting If you've ever felt like you're just reacting to your kids instead of forming them, this episode is your reset.
