Are you raising kids who will choose you when they leave your home? Are you building a marriage strong enough to thrive after the nest is empty?

In this 'Average Joe' conversation, Pastor Jim Ramos sits down with pastor and longtime friend Shaun Strong. They dive into the raw realities of parenting through the “second half of life.” They tackle the struggles of letting go, the danger of making your kids the center of your world, and the call to keep Jesus and your marriage first. You’ll walk away with a clear vision of how to keep your marriage strong when the kids are gone and practical insights on shifting from “parent” to “advisor” as your kids grow.
