Often when I’m struggling with or praying over what to talk about on the podcast, God reminds me to go back to the basics. There are SO many parenting topics out there that we can listen to or read about that make it easy to forget the basics of biblical parenting. 

So today I want to go back to the basics of the importance of requiring  obedience from our kids.
