    Parenting Day 12: Rule-based Parenting Create Dysfucntional Children
    Feb 13 2025
    Being authoritarian is a good thing because, as image-bearers, we want to emulate our Father. Thus, we must learn to live under God’s authority and learn how to model it. However, if authoritarianism is our only parenting method, it may scuttle our children’s individualized sanctification needs.

    Ep. 542 When Christians Fail You: Trusting God in the Aftermath of Betrayal
    Feb 8 2025
    Shows Main Idea – When someone experiences deep betrayal at the hands of Christians, it can shake their faith to the core. They may wonder how God could allow such evil, why He did not intervene, and why those who did wrong seem to have escaped justice. These are honest struggles, and they should not be dismissed with shallow responses to hurtful people.

  • Parenting Day 9 – Give Your Child Fewer Rules And More Attitude

    Parenting Day 9 – Give Your Child Fewer Rules And More Attitude
    Feb 4 2025
    A right heart attitude will create the right behaviors, but knowing and obeying all the rules does not mean the heart is good or even agrees with the actions. From the inside out is the Bible’s way to parent children, not merely outward assessments. Though regulations will give you the desired behaviors you pray for when your kid is young, those rules cannot change your child’s heart.
