My Son Wanted to Quit Music… I Stopped Him

الوصف

In this episode of From Behind This Chair, I'm sitting down with my middle son, Emmanuel, and we get into the kind of father and son conversation that a lot of families never really have out loud. We talk about fear, pride, discipline, parenting, and what happens when somebody gifted starts losing the love for what they do. Emmanuel opens up about music, songwriting, and why the industry, the pressure, and all the eyes on you can make you want to back away from your own calling. But me, I'm not letting him quit on himself like that. This is a real talk about family, strict parenting, academic growth, and the tension that can live between love and discipline. We go back to the harder seasons too, the clashes, the lessons, the reading, the honor roll, and the push that helped shape him. Then we get into the deeper part, the pain behind the lyrics he wrote, and how that pain turned into the theme song for From Behind This Chair. As a father, that meant something to me. For real. One of the greatest gifts I have ever received. If you have ever wrestled with your purpose, your parents, or your own voice, this one is for you.
