In this episode, Bethany joins the conversation to talk honestly about discipline, especially the seasons when it feels constant, exhausting, and emotionally heavy.

She shares from her own experience of walking through a season where her children were triggering frustration and anger, and how isolating that can feel as a parent. Bethany names the reality of being worn down by repeated correction and the temptation to discipline from irritation instead of intention.

Throughout the episode, she unpacks six core truths that serve as guardrails for discipline. These truths help parents respond with peace, love, and joy rather than reaction. She reminds listeners that every child has deep value, that God desires relationship with them, and that behavior or sin does not define who a child is.

Bethany emphasizes heart motivation over surface behavior, encouraging parents to remember their role as stewards and shepherds, not controllers. She points parents back to God’s heart, His kindness, forgiveness, and patience, and challenges them to model that same posture in discipline.

This episode reframes discipline as an opportunity to guide a child out of their mess and toward restoration, connection, and grace.

She encourages moms to seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit and trust that walking with Jesus will teach you exactly what you need to know.

In this episode, Bethany is joined by her husband Troy to talk about disobedience in children and what parents actually do in the moment it shows up.

They speak honestly about mistakes they’ve made and what 27 years of parenting has taught them. Disobedience isn’t treated as surprising or alarming. It’s named as a normal part of raising kids and something parents should expect.

Bethany and Troy talk about why disobedience often feels personal, how quickly parents move into reaction, and why learning to pause matters. They walk through how to look at what motivated the behavior and how to respond with clarity instead of control.

The conversation also breaks down what obedience and disobedience really mean, the different places children can be in when they disobey, and how these moments can be used for instruction rather than power struggles.

This episode gives parents a clear way to think about disobedience and a steadier framework for responding when it happens.

As the new year begins, Bethany invites parents to pause and reflect on a deeper question: Do we have a clear, God given vision for where our children are going?

In this episode, Bethany explores what it means to seek God’s perspective in parenting and trust that He has uniquely designed each parent for the children they are raising. God knows our children intimately, is fully attentive to their lives, and is actively at work in their growth and development. He invites us to see them the same way He does.

Bethany shares practical ways to bring confusion, frustration, and moments of perceived failure before the Lord through intentional reflection, writing, and prayer. Drawing from Jeremiah 33:3, this conversation emphasizes praying God’s Word and becoming students of our children as we learn to parent with clarity and purpose.

This episode encourages parents to let God’s way inform their motherhood and begin the year grounded in His perspective rather than their own.
