"Are Our Kids Smarter?" – A Brigade Roundtable w/ TK, Dough & Shea
In this eye-opening episode of A Brigade, TK joins forces with co-hosts Dough and Shea for a powerful and personal discussion that hits home for every parent navigating the modern world. The trio — all proud girl dads — tackle the hot-button question: Are our kids really smarter than we were growing up?
The conversation dives deep into generational contrasts, looking at how today’s teens, raised in the age of smartphones and social media, often believe they’ve got it all figured out — but are they truly wiser, or just more digitally fluent?
But it doesn’t stop there.
The crew also unpacks a deeper layer: faith-based parenting versus secular parenting. TK, Dough, and Shea open up about how their beliefs influence how they guide their daughters — from instilling values and discipline, to navigating identity, purpose, and pressure in a world that often rejects spiritual foundations. They contrast this with the more "do what feels right" approach many parents take today, where truth is relative and boundaries are blurred.
Topics include:
What does “smarter” really mean across generations?
How are we raising our daughters differently from how we were raised?
Does faith give our kids a deeper foundation, or is it seen as outdated?
Can there be a balance between being modern and being grounded in truth?
With real stories, moments of humor, and honest vulnerability, this episode is not about bashing the next generation — it’s about building bridges, checking our own biases, and asking the right questions as fathers and men of purpose.
