Disciplining our children is one of the hardest, most sensitive subjects among parents. There are so many different theories and opinions out there that it can be hard to know where to start. God's word actually has a decent amount to say about it and Hebrews 12 is one of the best places to start. My prayer is that this episode begins to give you confidence to seek the Lord in loving your children by disciplining them. This is the third episode in a five part series.

Part of loving our children is to help them to respect us as their parents and authorities that God has put in their lives. Godly, loving discipline will help our children to grow in respect for us. This episode touches on this biblical idea — I pray it is helpful to you! Would love to see your comments.

"The Lord disciplines the one he loves". The author of Hebrews over and over again connects the Lord's discipline of His children to the kind of earthly discipline parents should be giving their children. It all starts with this idea - if the Lord disciplines His children that He loves, then parents show their love to their children by disciplining them. It's an integral part of how we love our children.

If you enjoyed the interviews with Jodi Koesters, this episode brings those interviews to a close with some quick hitting tips of what it means to be present with our children.  The Lord has given Jodi a godly heart and lots of experience that make these tips extremely thoughtful and practical.  Applying the gospel and the Scriptures to the everyday life of the family is so needed in our culture today.  May this episode encourage and equip you to do just that!

It can be so easy to rush around with our kids from one thing to the next. All of a sudden we realize we haven't looked our kids in the eyes for any length of time recently. We've lost sight of giving our attention to them and listening well to them. In this conversation with my wife, Jodi, we talk about how the Lord has helped us to value sharing our lives with our kids and give them the gift of our presence. This ultimately flows out of the way the Lord has shared Himself with us and the message of salvation in Him. I pray this episode equips and encourages you to do the same, by His power and might.
