Terri Hitt lives by two phrases “parent to prepare not repair” and “we must inhale Christ so we can exhale Him onto our children.” How do we raise our children to choose Christ over culture? It all comes down to showing them how to live like Christ, and targeting that heart connection over stringent behavioral correction. Terri is a Purpose Parenting Mentor for Christian moms and is the mother of a special needs child. It all starts with identity, she says. Who are we? Are we grounded and solid in our relationship with the Lord? If so, it will be easier for us to guide our kids towards Christ in those moments of gentle and loving correction. Let’s be set apart in Christ and guide our children as they grow to cultivate a relationship with the Lord that lasts a lifetime.TAKEAWAYSDon’t parent behavior, parent in a way that leads children to ChristPrioritize time and mentor your children and study the Word of God on how to be a godly parentIt’s easier to lay a firm foundation for your children when they’re still young rather than waiting until they’re teens and set in their waysDon’t let your emotions rule your behavior🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODEParenting video: https://bit.ly/4fFnZ3aDonate to Counter Culture Ministries: https://bit.ly/455gbmbThe Good Mom Trap book: https://www.terrihitt.com/book🔗 CONNECT WITH TERRI HITTWebsite: https://www.terrihitt.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/terrihitt/Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/terri_hitt/📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BYWholesale Direct Metals: https://wholesaledirectmetals.com/tinaMasterPeace (get discounts with code TINA): https://bit.ly/CounterCultureMomMedi-Share: https://www.medishare.com/tina-griffinCapstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOMhttps://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWShttps://bit.ly/FPMCCMshow📲 GET OUR APP FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDEhttp://bit.ly/landingpageCCM💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION2024 Recap 2025 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReportMake a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/#specialneeds #disabilityawareness #inclusion #accessibility #disability #differentlyabled #wheelchairlife #actuallyautistic #autismawareness #mentalhealthawareness #neurodiversity #children #education #parenting #family
