Shepherding a Child's Heart (Part 3) | Ep. 107

Our Father's Heart

Journey with us as we explore the basis of parental authority, unpacking biblical principles that lend insight into the responsibility entrusted to us. Ephesians and Deuteronomy are our guides in this episode, shedding light on the roles of parent and child, and the essence of authority that surpasses physical stature or intellectual abilities.
Later, we venture into the realm of discipline, using biblical references to underline its importance. Proverbs and Ecclesiastes caution us against withholding correction from our children, highlighting it as a tool that could save their souls. We turn to the New Testament to learn from Ananias and Sapphira in order to understand the dire consequences of dishonesty. Parenting isn't one size fits all, and accommodating differing personalities is crucial. We discuss the importance of setting tailored short-term and long-term goals for each child recognizing their inherent uniquenesses and differences.
Finally, we delve into discipline as a corrective measure, intended to realign children with God. Drawing inspiration from Moses and David, we underline how discipline should stem from the heart, focusing on character development rather than punishment. The ultimate goal is to guide our children towards holiness and righteousness.
If you're yearning for a biblical faith-based approach to parenting, you've found your perfect companion in this episode. Listen in, be enlightened, and put into practice the principles in your home as we walk this parenting journey together.
