Many moms feel overpowered by anger, and find it difficult to be consistent in discipline.
“If you do that ONE more time…”
“Do you want to get in trouble?”
“I can’t take it anymore!”
Listen as Jess talks with Wendy about:
- giving consistent discipline
- practical ways to fight mommy anger
- how to discern whether a parenting resource is biblical
This episode’s Quick Mom Verse:
“We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ…” ~2 Corinthians 10:5

Tips for Discerning if Parenting materials are Biblical:
- Start with trusted ministries like DesiringGod.org, The Gospel Coalition, John MacArthur
- Flip through the book to evaluate: is it regularly using Scripture?
- Go deeper: is it using Scripture *IN CONTEXT*? Is it upholding Scripture or trying to redefine/pick it apart?
