Summary

I know parenting with grace is the “right” choice.

However. . .when the house is a wreck and the boys are fighting and dinner’s on the stove? Grace doesn’t come easily.

But then I get a pep talk from, Jeannie Cunnion (author of “Parenting the Wholehearted Child”).

Jeannie always reminds me of the gospel. She reminds me who I am in Christ, so I can come alongside my kids and do the same.

In this episode Jeannie and I spend time chatting about a recent article she wrote over at FoxNews (link below). She encourages us to ask our kids an important question. Engaging them in a conversation about what makes us lovable.

Personally, my day went so much better after we talked. I’m confident the same will be true for you.

They’re not going to have perfect mom, but they have a perfect Savior. -Jeannie

And so how do we at a young age and still end them?

Your loveability is completely anchored in the fact that God is crazy about you, that

0:32.1

He delights in you, that He takes pleasure in you because of the perfect righteousness

0:37.5

of His Son, Jesus Christ, covering you.

0:40.6

And there is absolutely nothing that you can do to change that.

We're listening to episode 91 on the Gods and her mom podcast with me, Heather McFaddean,

I brought her back on.

0:58.1

She was on earlier this year in January on episode 55, and we talked about how to really

parent with Grace.

1:05.2

And I decided to bring her back on.

1:07.2

I just, whenever I talk to her, I feel like she describes Grace so well, both for me

1:12.4

as a mom and how to interweave it with my discipline, so that I'm really reflecting what I think

1:18.9

God intends for us in our parenting.

1:22.6

And I love what she says near the end of the episode that our kids have not been given

perfect moms, but they have been given a perfect savior.
