Most people become parents and then figure it out as they go. Jonathan Brozozog has spent over 20 years arguing that there is a better way.

Jonathan is America's #1 Christian parenting coach, Lead Pastor of Creative Church in Minnesota, father of eight, and author of Raising Parents alongside his wife Joanne. His central argument is that the most important variable in how you parent is how you were parented, and that most parenting books focus on child behaviour when the real work happens in the parent's own formation first.

This episode is a parenting masterclass. Andrew sits down with P. Jonathan to work through the practical tools behind his framework: how to identify and break generational patterns before they repeat in your own home, what it means to raise the whole child across body, soul, and spirit, what grace and redemption actually look like in a real parenting moment rather than a teaching illustration, how to stay ahead of your child's developmental stage instead of falling behind it, and how to hand a child technology without handing them something they're completely unprepared for.

P. Jonathan also created Cell Phone Permit, the only standalone phone education course in America, after his oldest son Alexander wanted a smartphone and no preparation course existed anywhere. That origin story is in this episode.

And for the parent who feels like they've already missed their window: there is a direct answer to that question here too.

This is a conversation worth returning to.
