Parenting is the hardest job on the planet. But are we focused on the right goals? On this episode of The Clash, Jeff and Chris dive into “Parenting by the Book.”
From the “grape juice on the white couch” disasters to the importance of being your daughter’s first date, we are breaking down the practical things you must do to survive and thrive as a parent. We discuss why you need to pray before you react, why you should apologize to your children, and why the goal isn’t just to raise great kids—but to raise Godly adults.

In this episode of The Clash, Jeff Dixon and Chris Whaley challenge the traditional view of Thanksgiving. They unpack the concept of “Thanks Living”—the intentional choice to live with gratitude every single day, not just when the turkey is on the table.
Jeff and Chris dive deep into the science and spirituality of thankfulness. They discuss how gratitude rewires your brain to reduce stress and boost immunity, but they also tackle the hard questions:
How do you find gratitude when life falls apart?
What is the “Gratitude Gap” and how do you cross it?
Is there a “ceiling” on how thankful you can be without a relationship with Jesus?
From hilarious stories about “Bless God” testimonies to poignant reflections on leading through COVID and health scares, this episode is packed with humor, heart, and practical steps. Plus, get the details on the 30-Day Thanks Living Challenge that could change your outlook on life.
