Manage episode 387840150 series 3483614
Join me for a heartfelt conversation with my dad, Scott Hammond, as we journey through his life experiences and discover the impact that people, decisions, and faith have had in shaping who he is today. Ever struggled with weight issues or divorced parents? Scott opens up about his own adolescence and how a transformative period at Cal Poly Humboldt, meeting my mom, Joanie, and a newfound faith ultimately changed the course of his life.
In this intimate discussion, we also tackle the challenges and joys of parenting. Scott shares his story of raising three children on a single income, the conversations around family size, and the lessons learned from being present with our children. For anyone navigating the complexities of parenthood, especially in caring for children with emotional needs, his insights are not to be missed.
Finally, we delve into Scott's evolving relationship with faith and community as he becomes a State Farm agent. We talk about the impact of his mother's reaction to the church's mask policy, finding a more inclusive church, and the importance of accepting one another despite our brokenness. Listen in as we explore understanding and questioning religious beliefs, as well as how faith and scripture have shaped Scott's view of justice and the world. So, pull up a chair and join us for this honest and thought-provoking conversation about life, spirituality, and relationships.
