Trace Shares His ❤️

For the last 15 or so years I have had the honor and a privilege to interview many of the best and the brightest in the fields of child and family relationships, cultural studies and insights that affect parent-child relationships. Hollywood film makers, scientists, theologians, authors, mental and medical health professionals, philosophers, and many of the giants in today's broadcasting who have had their fingers on the pulse on many of the things affecting child-rearing for today's parents, Christian, and secular like. And virtually every one of them, whether they realized it or not, would've understood and affirmed the biblical principles for child-rearing from their respective disciplines, whether they were actually Christians or not because the Bible and science don't contradict one another. The Bible and objective truth do not contradict one another.

For all these years, I've left every License to Parent broadcast feeling very much affirmed about what our kids and families are learning and experiencing at Shepherd's Hill Academy. Family healing and life transformations are the physical evidences that God and His Word through Jesus Christ is the Way the Truth and the Life and certainly the model for a parent's best shot at raising healthy, well-adjusted kids in a society that's imploded before our eyes.

When we first launched License to Parent, only a man and a woman could possibly make a marriage. Only man and woman could've possibly birthed and raised a healthy child. Virtually all Americans would have agreed with that. Today, in the eyes of more and more people, our systemically mentally and spiritually ill society doesn't even know what a man or a woman is! This and much more is just an example of how quickly and how drastically reality itself is being redefined and how science is being ignored.

Reason for the Season 🙏🏼

One of the highest compliments that has been paid to this broadcast, as far as I'm concerned, is the idea that we have not been giving parents answers to the most common questions, but rather License to Parent has been giving parents answers to questions they should be asking but aren't. Just like our goal at Shepherd's Hill Academy, our goal here at License to Parent has always been to help build better parents by helping them to become change agents to our culture rather than helping them to become more microcosms of it. Today's church has produced too many of those already and now it seems we've had hell to pay for it.

But in the course of being a beacon of light in a dark world with respect to raising kids, I've also had the privilege of working with consummate production professionals who helped make this broadcast what is, people like Rich Rozel, Carl Peetz and my co host Michelle Hill. I want to thank you guys big time, this too has been an honor and a privilege.

So it's with a heavy heart ❤️  that I have to say today is our last License to Parent Radio broadcast, at least until prayer and circumstance dictate otherwise, or perhaps Jesus comes back.

There are many reasons for this decision, first and foremost for health reasons. So I would ask you to please pray for my wife, Beth who's dealing with health issues right now. She's been given a serious cancer diagnosis. Therefore I'll be doing my best to make her my first ministry right now...
