Children: Healthy Individuality & Family Membership w/ Torrey Roberts

How do parents nurture a child’s God-given individuality without letting that individuality run the family? 🎙️ In this episode of Rooted by the River, host John Houmes sits down with Torrey Roberts, Engagement Director at Oceanview Baptist Church and longtime family ministry leader, to talk about one of the most common (and confusing) parenting tensions: raising unique children while building a unified family culture. Drawing from her experience as a behavioral specialist at Sheridan House Ministries and her 15 years co-hosting the Parenting on Purpose podcast, Torrey offers practical wisdom for Christian parents who want to raise kids who are faithful, resilient, and grounded in truth—without overcorrecting, micromanaging, or reacting out of fear. ✨ This conversation is especially helpful for parents navigating strong-willed children, teens, or siblings with very different personalities who want to parent with grace, truth, and wisdom. #parenting #individuality #children #personality #familyculture Episode Chapters ⏱️ 00:00 – Welcome & introduction ⚖️ 02:20 – Individuality vs. family culture 🌱 02:50 – “The way they are bent” (Proverbs insight) 🚩 05:47 – Signs parents might be struggling stewarding kids’ individuality 😨 07:59 – Parental fear, control, and need for perfection 🧠 10:17 – How to let kids fail and self-awareness 🌍 14:32 – Cultural radical individualism vs. biblical identity 📚 17:16 – Being a student of your child and God’s purpose for them 🕰️ 20:41 – Family rules, consistency, and rhythms ✅ 22:46 – Preferences vs. right and wrong 💍💼✝️ 24:07 – Raising kids to be marriageable, employable, and God-honoring 📝 25:34 – John’s reflections and takeaways
