  Pt. 2 - Tim Hawkins on Raising Kids, Chasing Success & Coming Back to Jesus

  Sep 6, 202627 min

  Tim Hawkins on Raising Kids, Chasing Success & Coming Back to Jesus PART 1 of 2: You probably know Tim Hawkins for making families laugh. But this conversation goes somewhere much deeper. In this two-part conversation, Hannah sits down with comedian Tim Hawkins for an unexpectedly honest discussion about parenting, marriage, raising kids in the faith, homeschooling, calling, success, burnout—and what happens when the life you've worked so hard to build begins taking more from you than you realized. Tim shares what he and his wife learned raising their children and why they intentionally resisted becoming overly focused on producing a particular “result” in their kids. They talk about giving children room to wrestle with difficult questions about faith, maintaining boundaries without parenting from fear, and raising children who actually still want to come home when they're grown. They also dig into humor and family life—including the surprising ways sarcasm can become a defense mechanism, why not every uncomfortable moment needs a joke, and how learning to communicate honestly can transform conflict in both parenting and marriage. But as the conversation continues, Tim gets deeply personal about his own journey. At the height of a demanding comedy career—touring extensively, managing employees, buses, travel and the constant pressure to create—Tim realized something wasn't right. His energy was depleted, his family was getting what was left of him, and eventually his marriage reached a breaking point. Tim shares what that season taught him about success, being truly present with the people you love, knowing when something has run its course, and ultimately coming back to the simplicity of the Gospel. This is a conversation about much more than comedy. It's about raising kids without trying to control the outcome. Building something without allowing it to consume you. Knowing when to put down the hustle and be present. And remembering that Christianity isn't ultimately about making our lives more successful—it's about Jesus. There are plenty of laughs along the way (it is Tim Hawkins, after all), but stick with this conversation through Part Two and all the way to the very end. Some of the most vulnerable and encouraging moments happen in the final minutes. IN THIS CONVERSATION: • Tim Hawkins on parenting and raising four kids • Raising children who still want a relationship with you as adults • Why parents can't control the outcome of their children's faith • Giving kids permission to ask difficult questions about God • Boundaries versus authoritarian parenting • Tim and his family's experience with homeschooling • Raising teenagers without parenting from fear • Sarcasm, humor and emotional avoidance • Learning healthier communication in marriage and parenting • Why “always” and “never” can destroy productive conflict • Helping kids discover their individual gifts and calling • College, gap years and the changing path into adulthood • Why young adults face different challenges than previous generations • Tim's unconventional path from college baseball to comedy • Building a creative career without losing yourself • Fame, social media and staying authentic • Why clean comedy still matters • Tim Hawkins' Fist Bump comedy special • The emotional cost of success • What happens when work gets the best of you and your family gets the leftovers • Tim's deeply personal season of exhaustion and marital separation • Learning to be at work when you're at work—and home when you're home • Why success and Christian self-help aren't the Gospel • Returning to worship, gratitude and the finished work of Jesus • Knowing when a season, relationship or way of doing life has run its course • What Tim wishes he had understood sooner about following Jesus ABOUT TIM HAWKINS Tim Hawkins is a comedian, songwriter and musician known for finding the funny in marriage, parenting, church, homeschooling and everyday family life. Over the course of his career, Tim has built a massive audience through live touring, comedy specials, music and online videos—all while developing a style of clean comedy families can actually enjoy together. His latest comedy special, Fist Bump, continues that tradition with stand-up, music and Tim's unmistakable observations about the absurdity of everyday life.

  Are We Failing Our Boys? Raising Strong Christian Men with Trail Life USA CEO Mark Hancock

  Aug 26, 202626 min

  Are we failing our boys by asking them to behave more like girls instead of understanding how God designed them? If you have BOYS...this one is a must! In this powerful conversation, Hannah sits down with Mark Hancock, CEO of Trail Life USA, to talk about the challenges facing boys today—and what Christian parents can do to raise strong, courageous, Christ-centered young men. Mark shares why boys need movement, adventure, challenge, strong male role models, biblical truth, and opportunities to do hard things. Together, Hannah and Mark unpack the differences between boys and girls, why many traditional classrooms struggle to engage boys, the importance of fathers and godly male mentorship, and why lowering expectations may be hurting boys rather than helping them. They also dive into the story behind Trail Life USA, the Christ-centered, boy-focused alternative to traditional scouting, and why the organization has remained committed to biblical values in a rapidly changing culture. If you're raising a son, homeschooling boys, wondering why your boy struggles to sit still or stay engaged, or simply want to understand biblical masculinity and how to raise godly young men, this conversation is one you don't want to miss. In this episode: Why boys and girls learn and develop differently Why movement and adventure matter for boys The crisis of male role models and mentorship Why boys need challenge instead of lowered expectations Raising boys with a strong biblical worldview What Christian parents should understand about masculinity Why Trail Life USA was created How Trail Life differs from the Boy Scouts The importance of Christ-centered, boy-focused community How parents and churches can help boys become strong, godly men Learn more about Trail Life USA and find—or start—a troop near you at https://www.traillifeusa.com/ Special Thanks to Our Sponsor College of the Ozarks & School of the Ozarks The future of America depends on the character, faith, and formation of the next generation.

  PART 2 - Unfiltered: Should We Rethink School AND Sunday School? GUEST Sam Sorbo

  Aug 19, 202628 min

  PART 2 of 2...Be sure to go back and listen to Part 2 after giving the first episode a listen! What does it really mean to educate a child—and have parents handed too much of that responsibility over to schools? In this bold conversation, Hannah sits down with Sam Sorbo, bestselling author, award-winning filmmaker, international speaker, host of The Sam Sorbo Show, and longtime advocate for educational freedom. Together, they take an unfiltered look at the state of education, the rise of homeschooling, parental rights, and why Sam believes families need to rethink the difference between schooling and truly educating a child. Sam challenges parents to consider what education is actually supposed to produce—not simply good grades, test scores, or academic achievement, but capable, responsible adults who know how to think, build relationships, forgive, love, work, and navigate real life. Hannah and Sam also discuss the growing concerns surrounding the public school system, protecting childhood innocence, government involvement in education, the myth that homeschoolers lack socialization, and why keeping our children close gives parents more opportunities for discipleship and real-world learning. And the conversation doesn't stop at school. Sam brings that same challenge into the church, asking Christian parents to consider whether we've outsourced too much of our children's spiritual formation as well. This episode is a powerful reminder that parents are their children's primary teachers and disciplers. Whether you homeschool, send your children to public or private school, or are simply questioning what education should look like for your family, this conversation will challenge you to think differently about who—and what—is shaping your kids. In this episode: Sam Sorbo's case for educational freedom and homeschooling The difference between schooling and true education Public schools, parental rights, and protecting childhood innocence Why parents shouldn't assume they aren't qualified to teach their children Homeschool socialization and real-world learning Raising responsible, capable adults instead of prolonging adolescence Why discipleship requires proximity Sunday school, family worship, and parents' role in spiritual formation Taking back responsibility for the education and discipleship of our children Upright Christian Parenting equips parents to raise children with a bold biblical worldview in today's sideways culture. ----more---- Special Thanks to Our Sponsor College of the Ozarks & School of the Ozarks The future of America depends on the character, faith, and formation of the next generation.
