In this episode of the Be Unbound podcast, we chat special guest Dr. Matthew McDill, a seasoned parent of nine and the executive director of North Carolinians for Home Education. We discuss the nuances of parenting and discipleship, emphasizing the importance of giving children space to fail and learn. Matthew shares his personal journey of balancing academic knowledge with practical experience in raising his children and guiding them through self-discovery and spiritual growth.

He highlights the significance of being present and available for one's children, the transition from directive parenting to supportive coaching, and the beautiful, evolving relationship with adult children. With some heartfelt stories and wisdom gained from both successes and failures, Dr. McDill offers an insightful look into parenting with purpose, focusing on intentionality, endurance, and the immeasurable rewards of fostering deep, meaningful connections with your children.
