In this episode, Bethany is joined by her husband Troy to talk about disobedience in children and what parents actually do in the moment it shows up.

They speak honestly about mistakes they’ve made and what 27 years of parenting has taught them. Disobedience isn’t treated as surprising or alarming. It’s named as a normal part of raising kids and something parents should expect.

Bethany and Troy talk about why disobedience often feels personal, how quickly parents move into reaction, and why learning to pause matters. They walk through how to look at what motivated the behavior and how to respond with clarity instead of control.

The conversation also breaks down what obedience and disobedience really mean, the different places children can be in when they disobey, and how these moments can be used for instruction rather than power struggles.

This episode gives parents a clear way to think about disobedience and a steadier framework for responding when it happens.

As the new year begins, Bethany invites parents to pause and reflect on a deeper question: Do we have a clear, God given vision for where our children are going?

In this episode, Bethany explores what it means to seek God’s perspective in parenting and trust that He has uniquely designed each parent for the children they are raising. God knows our children intimately, is fully attentive to their lives, and is actively at work in their growth and development. He invites us to see them the same way He does.

Bethany shares practical ways to bring confusion, frustration, and moments of perceived failure before the Lord through intentional reflection, writing, and prayer. Drawing from Jeremiah 33:3, this conversation emphasizes praying God’s Word and becoming students of our children as we learn to parent with clarity and purpose.

This episode encourages parents to let God’s way inform their motherhood and begin the year grounded in His perspective rather than their own.

Bethany answers a question every parent faces.

“How do I help my kids grow in gratitude when the world pushes entitlement?”

Bethany walks through three patterns she often sees in her own home: possessiveness, selfishness, and entitlement. She explains how each one can open the door to meaningful and Gospel centered conversations. She also shares how these patterns show up at different ages and how we can respond with grace instead of frustration.

Bethany reminds us that these moments begin with our own hearts. Before we lead our kids toward gratitude, we often need to notice where we feel discontent or deserving ourselves.

In a culture that centers everything around a child’s comfort and happiness, this episode helps bring us back to what truly matters: humility, character, and a Gospel shaped view of gratitude.

In this episode, Bethany opens up about the pressure so many moms feel to perform, measure up, and hold everything together. She shares how that weight can start to lift when we let the gospel actually run through our motherhood. Understanding that you are already complete in him changes everything. It softens the constant self-judgment, eases the pressure to prove yourself, and opens space to experience real peace, even in the small, ordinary moments of the day.

Bethany reminds us of the truths that steady us. God’s love never pulls away and is not earned by our performance. His joy is full and complete, not dependent on how our day went or how our kids respond to us. His peace is present even when life feels chaotic. And when the pressure rises, he invites us to reconnect, to pour out our worries, and to rest in the reality that we are fully and completely loved.

These truths are drawn from John 15:8, John 15:11, John 14, and John 14:18–20, grounding us in the reality that our worth, our joy, and our peace come from God, not from what we do or how we perform.

This episode is an invitation to let those truths settle deeply into your motherhood so you can move from pressure to peace and breathe a little easier each day.
