One of life’s greatest challenges and gifts is parenthood. Not only do we feel the pressure of getting our children to succeed and become good people, but we also have the responsibility of leading them into a life of faith.
Guest Don Manning shares his story of surrendering completely to God and creating a family of soft hearts and change makers. Don and his wife Suzanne founded their ministry, Crazy Cool Family, with a mission to connect family relationships to each other and Jesus.
Don talks about the major lessons he’s learned from being a father and husband, giving him the ability to instill the right values in their children. The contrasting approaches to relationships and parenting of Don and Suzanne have helped him become a more compassionate and encouraging father.
Highlights include Don's most significant fence post story, the clarity that comes with taking a leap of faith, Don’s ministry (Crazy Cool Family) and the meaning behind its name, how Don learned to be a better father from his wife, Hebrews 3:13 and encouragement, why men struggle in fatherhood and marriage, and Don's prayer for dads who may be struggling.
