Learning from Your Mistakes

September 11, 2025

Every parent makes mistakes, but the key is owning them when you make one. John and Danny share about times they messed up as parents, and how they learned from those situations. Then, Melissa Hannigan talks to Jim Daly about how volunteering in a correctional facility helped her let go of perfectionism.

About Jim Daly

Jim Daly is President of Focus on the Family. His personal story from orphan to head of an international Christian organization dedicated to helping families thrive demonstrates — as he says — "that no matter how torn up the road has already been, or how pothole-infested it may look ahead, nothing — nothing — is impossible for God."

Daly is author of two books, Finding Home and Stronger. He is also a regular panelist for The Washington Post/Newsweekblog “On Faith.”
