Daniel's Perspective: How We Decided When and How to Tell Our Kids & What We Would Do Differently

How do you decide whether to tell your kids about same-sex attraction, mixed-orientation marriage, or other deeply personal family realities? 

In this episode, we share how we navigated those conversations with our own children, what we would do differently, and why understanding each child individually mattered more than we expected.

We Talk Through

• Why we told our kids
• How we told them
• What we would have done differently

This Week’s Invitation

As you navigate difficult conversations, notice how easy it is to become focused on your own perspective. 

This week, try asking:
“If both of us matter here, what would it look like to make space for both experiences?”
