More from Seth's blog. We did an interview together last weekend...

I interviewed Gary Black,
discussing one of our favorite themes - how to raise radical kids.
Gary and Lisa are two of the best parents I've ever met. Their six
kids have been through so much, but they are turning out awesome. They
are respectful, responsible, and yes, radical. During their last year
in Africa, they learned so much about what it feels like to be an
outcast and a minority.
One of the most important things that Gary and Lisa did was to let
them go through it and not rescue them. They knew that unless their
children experienced pain, they couldn't grow. It was hard, but that's
part of what helps children who are full of potential become men and
women of destiny.
