episode A Piercing… and a Father’s Lesson artwork

A Piercing… and a Father’s Lesson

In this deeply personal episode of Only for a Season, I share a moment from years ago that has never left me. It was a simple situation. A decision my teenage daughter made… after I had asked her to wait. What followed was not an argument. There were no raised voices. No harsh words. Just a look… and a response that would shape both of us in ways I didn’t fully understand at the time. This episode is about more than parenting. It’s about the weight a father’s response carries. Because sometimes… it’s not what we say. It’s how we respond… and what our children see in us in those quiet moments. If you are a father, or someone who influences the next generation, this conversation is for you. Featuring reflections on: * How our reactions shape our children’s hearts * The difference between control and influence * Creating a home that feels safe, not fearful * The quiet ways we either build trust… or break it “Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger…” — Ephesians 6:4 This is a reminder that our words matter. Our tone matters. Even our silence matters.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
