Have you ever thought, "I don't want to parent the way I was parented, but I don't know what the alternative looks like?" You're not alone. While there are several parenting models out there, Gentle Parenting is gaining popularity. 

In this episode, I'm unpacking the Gentle Parenting movement: what it is, why so many parents are drawn to it, and how it aligns with biblical principles of shepherding a child's heart.  

It's not about: 

  • Permissive parenting.
  • Avoiding discipline.
  • It's about how we discipline: empathy and long-term relationships in mind
  • A heart posture that says, "My child is not my enemy. They are a soul I'm stewarding." 

I'll discuss the desire parents have to shift from control to connection, the power of empathy in discipline, and how you can transform your relationship with your child. 

Whether you're curious or already committed to parenting with gentleness and grace, this episode will encourage and equip you with practical steps and hope-filled truth.

Listen in to learn why rules may guide behavior, but relationship shapes the heart.
