The Power of Self-Discipline, with Luke Swanson

My son Luke shares about the role of discipline in his childhood and now as a professional athlete.

Listener-favorite guest, (my son) Luke Swanson joins us for a fun and inspiring conversation about the character quality of self-discipline.  Invite your kids to join you as Luke shares some of the ways he believes our parenting helped him learn self-discipline, and how he has grown to cultivate discipline in his own life.

Luke and I highlight Bible verses that inspire discipline and Luke shares stories from his competitive surf life that have helped him embrace discipline. He also points to his brand new addition to my Character Training Course: A video where Luke speaks TO THE KIDS sharing 5 regular disciplines that have shaped his life! (with a printable list to go with it.)

The Character Training Course opens on Monday, March 24 (for one week only) so be sure to check out the COURSE PAGE for all the details! 

Bible verses mentioned:

Hebrews 12:11 No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.

Proverbs 22:29 Do you see a man skillful in his work? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before obscure men.

Luke mentioned: The Confident Mind Book
