Culture and modern ideas about parenting bring continual attacks against biblical parenting. Christian moms often face discouragement and fears that come from culture, a lack of role models, our upbringings, and more. Dig in with us to discover the dangers of giving in, and how to press through challenging moments to give consistent, loving, biblical discipline to our children.
Listen in as Jess continues talks with her friend Wendy, about:
- the fears moms face about disciplining our children
- common challenges that tempt us to give in and give up
- the attitudes and truth we need to push through fear and walk in faith
