The Day After High School Graduation…
Hey Dad,
This week’s Familyman Show is all about helping your child be what God want’s him/her to be. In the past we thought we had one option: college. Well, things are changing. During this show we talk about other options that might better fit and prepare your child. It’s a great show, but be prepared to have your world rocked!!!
Todd, Our son will be a junior in the fall & really doesn’t know what he wants to do, or whether college is right for him. Are you aware of any resources for helping kids uncover their gifts & where God is calling them vocationally?
Thanks for your ministry, & this week’s podcast!

Hey Scott, I know there are a bunch of test to show your son…but here’s my thoughts on the subject: I think YOU’RE the key. Let him know there is no pressure to be or know what he has to be for the rest of his life. God will reveal it to him in His own timing. I think we put pressure on our kids to “Know” when they just don’t know. I think it’s OK to NOT know right away. Maybe it’s OK to work a regular job…and keep moving forward. It’s amazing how God uses the direction we’re moving (even if it’s the wrong direction) to get us where He wants us to be. So tell him to relax and enjoy the process (this goes for the parents as well).
You ‘da dad!
