#58 - From Parent to Peer: Raising Kids Who Become Your Friends
Episode 58
Monday, 1 December, 2025
In this powerful and practical conversation, Bill Farrel — pastor, author of 61 books, father of three sons, and grandfather of eight — shares the proven principles that helped him raise confident, capable young men who are now three of his closest friends. Bill walks through the two core commitments that shaped his parenting: being fully present and becoming a student of each child. He discusses how parents can manage busy careers while staying relationally close, how to understand a child's motivation and stress points, and why every kid needs individualized leadership, not cookie-cutter parenting. You'll also hear Bill's insights on launching young adults, guiding teens through puberty, shifting your role from coach to consultant to friend, and handling dating, decision-making, and conflict with wisdom instead of control. If you want to raise children who grow into responsible, confident adults—and actually enjoy being around you—this rich, honest conversation will equip and encourage you.
