The Daniel Project

For years, the safest advice in America was to keep babies away from peanuts. Then a landmark study showed that early, careful exposure reduced allergy risk compared with avoidance. What does that have to do with raising children in a modern Babylon? In this episode, Dennis Harry looks at why a sterile, challenge-free childhood can leave a child’s faith without roots. Beginning in Jeremiah 17, wit...

Paul wrote, “I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.” Our culture is working to reverse that, making children worldly-wise too early and leaving them with little understanding of who God made them to be. This week on The Daniel Project, we open Romans 16:19 and expose the lies of Babylon. Then we get practical. Dennis shares three steps for guarding the gates of...

Your kids don't inherit the faith you talk about. They inherit the faith they see you live out faithfully. In this episode, Dennis opens 2 Timothy 1:5 to show why Timothy's unfeigned faith was believable, and how it was passed on to him by his mother and grandmother...and what that means for parents whose faith looks different at home, church, and work. Learn why "do as I say, not as I do" fails,...

Did we land on the moon? Is the world flat? Did the U.S. orchestrate the 9/11 attacks? Does Australia really exist? Twenty years ago, a deacon slipped Dennis a CD of “evidence” supporting a well-known conspiracy theory after a deacons' meeting, like a spy passing along secret intelligence. It was eye-opening! Today, our culture offers an endless feed of skepticism to your children. Their message.....

In your child's pocket right now, something is there that will form their identity...their appetites, emotional reflexes; it's a place their heart runs to, whether you're paying attention to it or not. In this episode, Dennis unpacks Exodus 32, the golden calf at the base of Sinai, and a story he and his wife Lorrie lived out firsthand watching students text each other on a bench inside the Holoca...

One day the music will play, and everyone around your children will bow. The only thing that will matter at that very moment is whether your child will have the courage to stand on conviction! In this episode, Dr. Harry unpacks Daniel 3...the fiery furnace, and three young men who refused to bow to an image ninety feet tall...to answer a question most parenting conversations never get around to: w...

In a culture that insists "your truth" and "my truth" are all that exist, kids are being taught to trade facts for feelings before they even reach middle school. In this episode, Dr. Dennis Harry unpacks the difference between the concept of preference/perspective...and the modern lie of moral relativism that has hijacked that same language. Anchored in Pilate's timeless question, "What is truth?"...

Every coach knows that if you get your hands on the opponent's playbook, everything changes. In this episode, Dennis pulls back the curtain on the deconstruction playbook...the quiet, strategic pattern culture uses to move kids from owned faith to abandoned faith.  Rooted in 2 Timothy 4:3-4 and Colossians 2:8, and mirrored six hundred years earlier when Babylon renamed and re-educated four Hebrew...

This isn't an episode about a verdict...it's an episode about a mirror. As the Lindsay Clancy trial has unfolded, Dennis Harry takes a step back from the courtroom to examine something far more relevant to your home: the cultural response on full display around it. From TikTok "sleuths" rendering verdicts before the facts are in, to sympathy quietly replacing justice for the actual victims, to sin...

In our culture right now, judgment and justice are looked down upon...all while embracing a false concept of mercy. In this episode, Dennis traces Isaiah 5:20's warning against calling evil good and good evil through everyday moments...classrooms, social media, family life... Then, anchored in Micah 6:8, he shows parents how to raise kids who can do both: offer mercy but still acknowledge sin and...

Every parent dreads the moment their child begins to pull away from the faith they worked so hard to instill. But in this episode, Dennis Harry reframes the doubting years not as a crisis to be managed, but as a threshold to be navigated...wisely, confidently, and without flinching. Anchored in the cry of a desperate father in Mark 9:24, "Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief", Dennis shows tha...

Every parent's instinct is to shield their child from pain. But what happens when protection actually keeps them from developing their faith? In this episode, Dennis unpacks one of the most well-intentioned mistakes Christian families make...raising children in such a controlled, conflict-free environment that their faith never develops a deep root system. Anchored in Jesus's Parable of the Sower,...

The hardest moment in Christian parenting is not the tantrums or the teenage rebellion. It is the quiet realization that your job is almost done...and you have to open your hand. In this episode, Dr. Dennis Harry walks parents of teenagers through one of the most counterintuitive truths in all of Scripture: the good figs were the ones sent to Babylon. Not protected from it. Sent into it. Drawing f...

Your twelve-year-old knows all the rules. But does he know why? There's a moment coming in a classroom, a locker room, a group chat...when someone outside your home is going to ask him exactly that. In that moment, they need to know why they believe what they believe. And if you don't teach them the "why" of their faith, Babylon is more than happy to teach them for you! Deuteronomy 6 doesn't start...

The authority structure in the home is our children's first sermon. Every boundary we hold, every correction we give, and every standard we maintain is preaching something to our children about the character of God. In this episode, Dr. Dennis Harry builds a biblical framework for authority in the home, one that goes far deeper than discipline strategies and behavior management. Rooted in Ephesian...

From the pop charts to the Senate chamber, one of the most dangerous philosophies of our time is being preached to your children every single day...and most parents don't even have a name for it. In this episode, Pastor Dennis Harry unpacks the ideology of expressive individualism: the cultural gospel that says your feelings are your truth, your desires are your compass, and anyone who challenges...

Every parent wants what is best for their child. So when a school principal stands at the podium and promises a values-neutral environment where kids are free to think for themselves, it sounds like exactly that. Safe. Balanced. Reasonable. But what if neutral is the most dangerous word in the room? In this episode of The Daniel Project, Dr. Dennis Harry confronts one of the most pervasive and des...

The world is using the same words but defining them using a different dictionary. Love, Compassion, Inclusion, Diversity...the world has hijacked these terms and is using them to communicate a worldview that stands against Biblical norms, and your children are caught in the crosshairs.  In this episode, we dig into the steps that parents can take to communicate Absolute Truth clearly with their ch...

The world your children are growing up in looks nothing like the one you grew up in—and the old playbook isn't enough anymore. In this introductory episode, pastor and father of four Dennis Harry lays the foundation for everything Raising Daniel is about. Drawing from the opening chapters of the book of Daniel, Dennis unpacks why the ancient story of a teenage boy taken to Babylon is the most accu...

Raising uncompromised kids in a modern Babylon. Dr. Dennis Harry equips Christian parents to move beyond surface-level parenting toward a bold, intentional strategy for building a faith that stands alone.
