About this episode

Kirk Martin shares a personal story about reconciling with his defiant son, reflecting on his own experiences with his father.

I have told this story before, but today a new flood of emotions came out as I realized this story with my own son…mirrored my experience with my own Dad. Walk step-by-step with me through the ups and downs of discipline, self-doubt, guilt, and ultimately connection with an outwardly defiant strong-willed child. Please share this one.
