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.
