What if the biggest gift you gave your kids this year wasn't a toy, but a letter telling them exactly who you see them becoming?
Pastor Jonathan Brozozog and his wife Joanne are raising eight children, ages 5 to 20, and have spent years teaching parents around the world how to lead a home without losing themselves in the process. His book Raising Parents flips the usual parenting question on its head: instead of asking how to raise good kids, he asks what kind of future parent you're actually raising. That question shapes everything from how he handles anger in the home to why he believes friendship, not money, is the real currency kids remember.
In this episode, Pastor Jonathan walks through the mistakes most parents make early on, why he believes "time doesn't heal, Jesus heals," and the practical, sometimes awkward habits his family practices on purpose, from a nightly no-phone hour to teaching young kids to salsa dance in the living room. We also get into the tradition that changed his family forever: a Father's Day letter of prophecy over each child that has become bigger in his home than Christmas.
🔹 THE OVERCORRECTION - Why so many parents swing from one extreme to the next, and how to stop the cycle before it reaches your grandkids
🔹 THE WORDS THAT WORK - What changes in a home when a parent's words carry weight instead of frustration
🔹 THE FATHER'S DAY TRADITION - The letter of prophecy that became his family's most anticipated day of the year
🔹 THE REAL WIN - Why he measures success by whether his kids love each other and Jesus when no one is making them
