Every parent sees it eventually.

The demands. The expectations. The quiet belief that the world exists to serve them.

But entitlement in children is not simply the result of bad parenting, weak boundaries, or cultural pressure. Scripture tells us something deeper and more honest: our children are born with hearts bent inward, just like us.

In this episode of The Gritty Gospel, we talk about how entitlement is not merely a behavior problem, but a heart and discipleship issue. One that begins early, forms quietly, and—if left unaddressed—can harden into character. This conversation is not about shaming parents or offering quick fixes. It’s about seeing our children clearly, taking sin seriously, and parenting with gospel-centered wisdom before entitlement takes root.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why entitlement is present from birth

• The difference between grace and indulgence

• Why behavior management alone is not enough

• How the gospel shapes gratitude, humility, and joy

• What faithful parenting looks like when the heart is the issue

If you’re a parent who wants to disciple your child’s heart—not just manage their behavior—this episode is for you. The Gritty Gospel exists to help parents raise children with clarity, courage, and hope in a broken world, trusting that real change comes not through control, but through Christ.
