What’s the most loving thing you’ve done for a child that they absolutely hated at the time? This episode reflects on the joys and pains of parenting through Hebrews 12, reframing discipline not as punishment but as discipleship. It explores how shaping character requires patience, sacrifice, and love that endures discomfort for the sake of growth. Pointing ultimately to God as the perfect Father who bears the cost for His children through Christ, this message encourages parents and the wider church to faithfully shepherd hearts toward Jesus—trusting that the pain of discipline gives way to the joy of lasting transformation.
