Have you heard loads of โback in my day,โ stories where reactive, controlling, old ways of parenting with fear and force are justified & advocated for?
Today — Terry and I are inviting you to join us to rise up and choose a better way of parenting our children.
We donโt think these old school hand me down parenting tools – fear, force, and pain filled tactics – are intertwined with Godโs message and his calling on our life as parents.
We are here to help parents show up to raise their kids with patience, self-control and compassion & while building connection with their amazing children.
This episode is all about how we can show up as humble servants in our parenting by asking the question of โwhat would Jesus do,โ in every parenting situation.
Whether you are a family of faith or not, this episode is a great way to learn what a humble Christian perspective looks like and what WE believe parenting consistent to a Jesus centered faith looks like.

Wendyโs Favorite Bible – NLT Life Application Bible
โDonโt be selfish; donโt try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.ย Donโt look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.
You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
Though he was God,
ย ย ย ย he did not think of equality with God
ย ย ย ย as something to cling to.โ
Philippians 2:3-6
