Every parent wants more than outward obedience. We want children whose hearts love what is good, honor God, and choose what is right, even when no one is watching.
In this episode, we sit down with parenting author and speaker Ginger Hubbard to talk about one of the biggest shifts parents can make: moving beyond correcting behavior to shepherding the heart.
Together, we explore the heart behind some of the most common parenting struggles, including:
• Lying
• Complaining
• Sibling rivalry
• Disrespect
• Disobedience
• Tattling
For each behavior, Ginger shares practical, biblical questions parents can ask to help children recognize the heart issue beneath their actions, along with Scripture that points them back to God’s truth.
We also share personal stories from our own parenting journey and discuss how God has been teaching us to look beyond behavior modification and pursue lasting heart transformation.
If you’ve ever found yourself correcting the same behavior day after day, this conversation will encourage you with practical, gospel-centered tools to help shepherd your child’s heart.
Our prayer is that this episode equips you to parent with greater wisdom, grace, and confidence as you point your children to Christ.
