In this episode, Mark Gregston and Wayne Shepherd discuss the importance of creating and embracing an imperfect home. Mark believes imperfection attracts your teens and creates an atmosphere of hope.

Together, they address the danger in creating the "perfect" home and share how being imperfect can show our kids we will love them through their own imperfections. Kids won't always make good choices, that's their nature. Mark says this is where grace plays a role in all of it; not excusing the behavior, but accepting the child in spite of the behavior.
