Life is filled with difficulties. If you’ve been living on this earth long enough and you’re a man then you know that challenges are everywhere. As men we experience difficulty in our jobs, our relationships, our finances, and the list goes on and on. But God who is rich in love and mercy has given us a framework for dealing with the challenges that life brings.

We believe that men are responsible for the people and the situations that God brings into our lives. And that by moving towards people and situations and depending on God… we win in all areas

The men at grace podcast is a resource for you who desire to pursue Authentic Manhood. In each episode

you'll hear from men who have faced challenges in their work, struggles in their marriage, trouble navigating midlife, questions about authority, and other relatable life issues.

In this episode, Chris Rivers speaks with Kelly Hunt about the changing roles of parenthood and how to effectively engage teenagers and young adults. Using the analogy of a coach, Kelly encourages listeners to guide their adult children from the “sidelines” while allowing them to feel the weight of responsibility and build confidence.

APPLICATION:

1. Read Luke 15:11-24. Looking at this passage from the perspective of the father, what is one thing you notice or can apply to your role as a parent?
2. Are you currently operating as an authoritative parent or functioning more as a coach? Based on the stage of life your child is currently in, what shifts might you need to make?
3. Think about a coach who has been influential in your life. What parallels can you make between their role and the role you have as a parent?
4. How are you serving as an anchor in your children’s lives? What is one action step you can take to move towards your children and be available to them?
