This episode is a flip. Rick and Clancy are in the guest seat, interviewed by Paul Basden, their pastor of nearly 20 years. He knows their kids. He knows their story.
A question Clancy asked Rick in the car sits at the center of everything. So does the sadness both of them felt, the identity shift Clancy navigated, the dad connections Rick had to relearn from a distance, and how their faith guides them through all of it.
Paul also digs into how they chose to approach the empty nest differently… the Year of Yes, staying connected as a couple, building new friendships, and finding freedom and fun in this new season.
Paul also gets their perspective on the consultant stage of Parenting, finds out their favorite verses, and what changes when you pray for your adult kids.
