Ryan Dobson joins Peter Demos for an honest conversation about parenting failures, restored relationships and why Christians cannot understand the New Testament without the Old Testament.

Ryan reflects on growing up as the son of Dr. James Dobson, the expectations placed on prominent Christian families and the fear that shaped his early years as a husband and father. He explains why admitting failure and apologizing to children are signs of responsibility rather than weakness.

The conversation also introduces The Covenant, a dramatic project beginning with the Book of Daniel. Ryan discusses biblical literacy, artistic license and the need for Christian storytelling that draws people back to Scripture.
