Episode 324 | Raise Them Right: Building a Work Ethic That Lasts

May 12, 2026 | Marriage and Family

In this episode of The Way We See It, Pastor Alex Bryant dives into the importance of teaching your kids a strong work ethic in a culture that often settles for average. Drawing from Do Hard Things and Wonderful by Travis Spencer, Alex unpacks what it really takes to develop grit, resilience, and excellence in the next generation. He also brings insight from a radio conversation with Dr. Jared Webster on preparing students for college and real life. The message is clear, start early, don’t lower the bar, and don’t back down when there’s pushback. If we want our kids to rise above average, we have to expect more and lead them there.
