This week, Jake and Bob are joined by Duane and Carrie Daunt to discuss what living out our identity of father or mother can look like as a biological parent. Duane and Carrie share the challenges and joys of parenting a large family and the role sacrifice plays in creating a strong and loving home. They also talk about how their own woundedness has impacted their parenting journey, the role of community, and what to do when spouses disagree.

 

Key Points:

  • Duane’s sacrifice and willingness to put the needs of his family above his own is an essential aspect of creating a loving home.
  • Community and mentorship play a crucial role in raising children and passing on the faith.
  • Parenting a large family comes with unique challenges but also brings great joy and fulfillment.
  • Our own woundedness and past experiences can impact our parenting journeys. It is important to seek healing and restoration in those areas.
  • We are human and will make mistakes. Seeking to reconcile with your children afterwards is important for healing and repair.

 

The Pillars of Duane and Carrie’s Parenting Style:

  • Be conscious of the parenting you received growing up and how that has affected you
  • The husband sacrificing creates the foundation of a loving home
  • Both spouses should have vision and alignment
  • Support from the community is necessary
  • The Catholic faith is the centerpiece of life
  • Do what it takes to be involved in your children’s lives
  • You may never see the fruit of your parenting efforts, but that doesn’t matter
  • Be open to feedback
  • Be Holy Spirit led
  • The messages your kids are hearing explicitly and implicitly matter and be attentive to them
  • Pray for the Holy Spirit to fill your inadequacies as a parent
  • Always attempt to repair 
  • Root your kids in the truth
