2. Discipling Children Across Life Stages (with Dr. Michelle Anthony)

In our parenting journeys, we’ve all had those moments when we finally felt like we got a handle on things—only to then feel like our kids started a new stage overnight and forgot to tell us.   Discipling our little ones looks a lot different than discipling our preteens, which looks a lot different than discipling the college freshman who is leaving the nest for the first time. But if there’s one thing that’s true at any stage of parenting, it’s questioning if we are doing enough. We will always have those days when we desperately wish we had all the right answers.  Thankfully, we have something much better. We have a God who is present, leading us and loving us (and our kids!) in every stage.   On this week’s episode, our hosts Mary Jo and Daniel are joined by Dr. Michelle Anthony to discuss what it means to put God on full display in the different life stages and how we can help tune their senses to see Him, hear Him, and know Him at any age.   Guest Bio:  Dr. Michelle Anthony is the Executive Pastor of Families at New Life Church and Dean of Familymin Academy. She is also the author of many books, including her newest release, 7 Family Ministry Essentials.
