37 Parenting 12 Kids with Calvin Palmer

Feb 20, 2026    Garrett Scott, Sarah Hughes, Cole Hughes

Today we speak with Calvin Palmer on the topic of raising children. Calvin is a father to 12 kids in which many of them have grown up in our church over the years. Raising children is a blessing from the Lord that many of us get the responsibility of nurturing in life. Parenting is not an easy task but a beautiful model of faithfulness. Instructing, disciplining with love, and providing care (spiritually and physically) are all traits that our Heavenly Father uses with us. If you're a parent, we hope this episode is an encouragment to you. If you're not a parent, we hope this episode still provides spiritual guidance that is helpful for whatever journey of life the Lord has you on.
