In this episode of Unleash Your Purpose, my wife Sara and I dive into one of the most asked-about topics we face as foster and adoptive parents of 11 kids: intentional parenting. You know the drill—people ask, "How do you stay organized? How do you balance family and marriage? How do you handle all the chaos?" Well, in this six-part series, we're laying it all out. We kick things off with a hilarious family story that shows the wild ride of parenting a large family—like the time I accidentally loaded up a chicken recipe with six tablespoons of cayenne pepper! Spoiler alert: The entire house was sweating, but the laughter we shared brought us closer together. That’s what intentional parenting is about—building memories, creating those moments of connection, and embracing the chaos with purpose. We break down what it really takes to build a strong family culture—one rooted in love, respect, and shared values. From screen-free Sundays to showing up for your kids, it’s about being present and creating a space where they feel seen, heard, and challenged to grow. If you’ve ever wondered how to raise kids with purpose, this series is for you.
