When it comes to parenting, there are many passages in scripture that drop nuggets of wisdom into the laps of parents but leave little instruction as to how to walk those scriptures out. Even more, every child is different so no set of "steps" works for every child. That's why this Heart of Parenting series looks to take a relational approach to parenting that helps parents understand the unique heart of their child, and equips parents with godly, foundational principles that can help create the culture of Christ in their home. Join Alicia and Abby over the next four episodes as they discuss topics like the role of parenting, discipline, heart-felt communication and conflict resolution.
