Raising Brothers

Question: What's one lesson from your own childhood that has shaped you?

About This Conversation

Parenting changes, but it never really ends.

In this episode, Denise and Tim reflect on raising three boys, navigating military deployments, learning to parent from a distance, and intentionally building a family where brothers become lifelong friends.

They share funny stories, difficult moments, and the values that shaped their decisions along the way, discovering that some of the most important work of parenting isn't raising independent children—it's helping them become people who always know they belong to each other.
