Parenting Past Appearances | 1 Samuel 16:7

I used to discipline my kids hardest when we were in public. Not always because they did something wrong, but because I felt exposed. Restaurant. Grocery store. My parents’ house. I was parenting for appearance, not the heart.In this episode we use 1 Samuel 16:7 to rethink Christian parenting and leadership at home. People look at the outside. God looks at the heart. We talk about the difference between discipleship and image management, how to discipline without shame, and how to repair after reacting from embarrassment instead of love. Practice tonight includes a simple heart question you can ask your child in under one minute.Want a bible study or need help memorizing 1 Samuel 16:7 and teaching it to your kids.
