In this Bonus Episode Kristen sits down with Jessica Thompson to talk about teen anxiety. Why anxiety has skyrocketed is discussed along with the following:

Why don't we go to God in our sin? Or our kids come to us in their sin? Listen in to this discussion that moves from the lies we believe about God and his promises to the self-talk we need to believe better and live free. Notice, it's believing better, not behaving better because the truth is our sin struggle is ongoing. Knowing this as parents should change our narrative and response to our kids in their sin.

Join Kristen & Pete for a discussion about the gospel. What it is, what it's not and why it matters that we get it straight. While this may not sound like parenting, it has everything to do with helping our kids know why they can go to God in their sin, and how God views them even in it. 

We often see sin only as outward bad behavior. But in the parable of the Prodigal, Jesus was the addressing the Pharisees- the ones who outwardly had it altogether but were inwardly full of pride and self-righteousness. In this conversation we talk about why this type of sin is so destructive and how helping our kids understand the two categories for sin brings them to a place of knowing deeper their need of a Savior.

In today's episode, Kristen and Pete discuss the difference between and the effects of law-driven and grace-based parenting, the hard work of discipline when kids are young and why its worth it in the long-run. The idea of creating categories for understanding sin is introduces and the goal of getting beneath the behavior to the heart.
