Season 3 Episode 82

Are we planting thorns in our homes? What if the biggest threats to your child’s faith look like good opportunities on the calendar? In this episode, we sit down with Phil Robertson to explore how Jesus’ warning about the “thorns” (Matthew 13:7) still applies today—sports, school, screens, and busy schedules that quietly choke out spiritual growth.

Together, we unpack how parents can cultivate hearts that love God above all, using Matthew 6:19-21 as our guide. Phil shares practical wisdom from his own family—how to set priorities around worship, balance activities with conviction, and keep conversations about faith alive at home.

If you’ve ever felt torn between giving your kids every opportunity and guarding their souls, this conversation will help you find peace, perspective, and purpose.
