What does it really take to build a deep, lasting bond with your kids, especially during the teen years? How do you discipline your kids in a way that doesn't drive them away?

In this 'Average Joe' conversation on The Men in the Arena Podcast, Pastor Jim Ramos is joined by his friend Sam Gipson. Sam, a high school teacher and men's ministry leader, shares insights into the challenges and rewards of parenting teens. This is a practical, honest conversation for men who want to avoid alienating their kids and want to learn how to set a strong foundation for a positive relationship with your children when they become adults.
