Ep. 2.6 - Self-Centered vs Gospel Centered Parenting

February 18, 2024

Control: When faced with conflict within the family, do you seek to control before you try to understand and empathize? Recognizing the motivation behind your need to control those situations can help reveal the status of your own head and heart. Are we seeking control so that we don't look foolish in front of others, weak in front of our teenagers, or are we seeking to love them by demonstrating the grace of Jesus? Mark Long helps us examine our motivations and look to Jesus in hope when we are in tough situations. ParentU is a ministry of Oak Mountain Presbyterian Church in Birmingham, Alabama.
