Fathering Kids Who Love You In the Long Run

Being a dad is a joy, calling, and responsibility, and it's a role that often requires keeping a long run perspective. In this special Father’s Day episode, we surprise Glenn Archer by inviting his children, Whitney Archer White ’17 and Andy Archer ’16, to reflect on what it was like to grow up in his home and unpack the wins, challenges, and intentional choices that shaped their family.Glenn serves as the Bible department chair at Wesleyan School, and his daughter, Whitney, leads high school ministry in Auburn. As part of the Savannah Bananas organization, Andy is a pitcher for the Loco Beach Coconuts. From New York trips and youth sports to teenage rebellion and discipline, they explore what it looks like to parent with purpose and how playing the long game can lead to meaningful, lasting relationships.
