As the school year begins, it is the perfect time to pause and reflect on the words we speak over our children—and ourselves. In this episode, Lori shares a powerful parenting tip that helped shape the way she encouraged and corrected her children as a young mom raising eight kids.

You will be challenged to reframe phrases like “good girl” or “bad boy” and instead use language that separates identity from behavior. Lori also explores how deeply rooted identity is—in Christ, not in performance—and how this truth brings freedom, hope, and healing.

Whether you are parenting toddlers or teenagers, this episode will inspire you to choose words that build up, affirm truth, and point your children to their value in God's eyes.

Key Takeaways:

• A simple but transformative shift in the way we praise and correct

• The difference between labeling behavior and labeling identity

• Why our identity in Christ is secure, no matter our mistakes or circumstances

• Encouragement for moms to speak truth over themselves
