In this episode, I’m sharing why I teach my children to honor and respect authority—and why it matters for their hearts, their futures, and their walk with God. We’ll talk about what it really means to honor authority, how to teach this in practical, everyday ways, and how our own relationship with authority shapes our parenting. I pray this will encourage you and offer wisdom as you walk this journey with your family.

Walking out of our past and into our future requires faith and complete trust in who God says we are, regardless of what our past experiences or mistakes might tell us. God specializes in hard cases and has a unique plan for each of us that was established before the foundation of the world.

In this episode I invite you to find out who you are in Christ, get into the Word, and hold onto those promises by faith. Decide to believe what God says about you rather than what your mind, the enemy, or others tell you. Let go of your past and embrace the future God has for you.

Disciplining our children is one of the most challenging aspects of parenting. As a new mom, I found myself constantly avoiding those tough moments of correction because they stirred up so many difficult emotions and left me feeling utterly inadequate. Maybe you've felt that same sense of defeat after yet another power struggle with your child—wondering if you missed some crucial parenting class that everyone else seemed to attend.

In this episode we'll look at the differences between discipline, correction, and punishment, offering a grace-filled perspective. Discipline isn't just about enforcing rules; it's about discipleship—walking alongside our children and showing them the way. When we understand that correction is simply putting something right that's out of alignment, and punishment should have natural connections to the behavior, our approach shifts.

The four key principles shared in this episode changed my parenting journey for the better: getting crystal clear on what you're actually training your children to do; building a relationship strong enough to sustain correction; believing your child genuinely wants to obey you (even when all evidence points to the contrary); and leveraging natural consequences instead of arbitrary punishments. That third principle was particularly helpful with me one son who seemed determined to challenge every boundary I set.

What if your child's seemingly rebellious behavior isn't rebellion at all, but simply immaturity that needs patient training? What if the power struggles you're experiencing stem from your own perspective more than your child's heart? These questions helped me move from frustrated anger to connected leadership, and they might just transform your parenting too. Listen in for practical wisdom on reaching your child's heart while maintaining healthy boundaries, creating a home where both grace and truth can flourish.

This week's episode first aired February of 2023. It has been my most popular episode to date. Enjoy this replay...

Have you ever felt like taking care of yourself was somehow selfish? After all, so many other people are counting on you. That mindset nearly broke me—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

When my boys were 5, 4, and 2, my body staged what I call a "mini rebellion." Heart surgery, chronic hives, thyroid issues, kidney stones, and persistent headaches all converged in the same season. This mini-health crisis became my wake-up call. I had to face an uncomfortable truth: I had been operating under the false belief that being a good mother meant giving until I had nothing left.

That's when I realized that mature people recognize their own needs and take responsibility for meeting them. This wasn't selfishness—it was wisdom. God gives us permission to create balanced, healthy lifestyles for ourselves and our families. We have far more control over the rhythms of our homes than we often realize.

As mothers, we set the emotional tone for our entire household. When we're depleted and running on empty, everyone feels it. When we're rested and nourished—both physically and spiritually—we create an atmosphere where our families can thrive.

In this episode I share six principles that helped me change my approach to motherhood and self-care: recognizing your needs, creating balanced routines, prioritizing rest, dealing with the chaos of busy seasons, asking for help without shame, and committing to growth in self-care. You weren't meant to be a martyr for your family; you were meant to be a blessing. And you can't pour from an empty cup.
