What Is Parenting With Love and Leadership?

For over forty years, I’ve been on a mission: restoring commonsense and biblical principles to American childrearing. This passion isn’t just my calling—it’s my assignment. Now I’m inviting you to join me by subscribing, and if you’re ready, upgrading to a paid subscription.

“Parenting with Love and Leadership,” the name of this Substack and my most popular talk, captures the essence of this mission. It’s about raising children according to a time-tested, biblical paradigm—one that emphasizes character over achievement and respect over self-esteem. Kids need equal parts love and leadership to thrive.

Since retiring my nationally syndicated newspaper column, I’ve poured my energy into this Substack and my weekly podcast. I’m also building a full digital archive: all of my newspaper columns, plus the complete collection of my audio and video speeches, are being added.

A paid subscription gives you full access to everything—weekly columns, exclusive content, all audio/video/column archives, and early podcast episodes. Free subscribers will still receive occasional posts and podcast access.

Thank you for helping me carry this mission forward—one parent at a time.
