S2E9 - Biblical Parenting Begins With the Parent’s Heart: Deuteronomy 6
“Before the Word is impressed upon our children, it is to be upon our own hearts.”
In Deuteronomy 6, one of Scripture’s clearest passages on discipling children begins in a surprising place—not with the child, but with the parent.
Before God tells His people to teach their children diligently, He calls them to love Him wholeheartedly and keep His words on their own hearts.
In this episode of Legacy Parenting, we explore why biblical parenting begins with the spiritual formation of the parent. Christian parenting is not first about finding the right method, producing obedient children, or guaranteeing a particular outcome. It begins with living under the authority of God and allowing His Word to shape us first.
We’ll talk about:
Why Deuteronomy 6 begins with God, not parenting techniques
How the parent’s heart shapes family discipleship
Why faithfulness matters more than controlling outcomes
The difference between biblical principles and parenting methods
How children learn from what we love, prioritize, and live
Why Scripture must shape parents before they teach their children
How everyday family life becomes a place of spiritual formation
Biblical parenting begins before we ask, “What should I do with my child?”
It begins by asking, “What is God doing in me?”

S2E8 - From Obedience to Initiative: Raising Kids Who Take Responsibility
“We are raising people who will eventually make most of their decisions when we are not in the room.”
What are we really preparing our children for when we teach obedience?
In this episode of the Legacy Parenting Podcast, Lori Lane returns to the Habits of the Heart series and begins a new conversation about initiative. Biblical initiative is about much more than completing a chore without being reminded. It is the growing ability to recognize what is right, understand what responsibility belongs to us, and choose to act faithfully.
Lori explores the sometimes-uncomfortable transition parents face as children mature: knowing when to keep teaching, when to remind, and when to step back enough for a child to begin carrying responsibility.
This episode also looks at how Scripture shapes a child’s conscience, why maturity may look different in every child, and how our desire to help can sometimes keep our children from practicing responsibility.
In this episode:
Why obedience is preparation, not the final goal
What biblical initiative really means
How conscience and Scripture shape responsible choices
When helping can become over-managing
Why mistakes can become opportunities for growth
How to recognize growing maturity without expecting perfection

S2E7 - Biblical Parenting for the Long View: Building a Faith-Filled Family Legacy
“Parenting happens one day at a time. But those days are connected.”
This week’s episode is a little different. With the unexpected early arrival of a new granddaughter, Lori pauses the Habits of the Heart series to share a personal update on Legacy Parenting—and reflect on why the long view of biblical parenting matters so much.
Lori revisits the four biblical principles that shape Legacy Parenting, shares what God has been clarifying about the discipleship of parents as well as children, and explains why Legacy Parenting made the countercultural decision to leave social media. She also shares the encouraging growth that has followed through the podcast and newsletter, along with new resources and an upcoming discipleship project rooted in Deuteronomy 6 and 7.
With three new grandchildren joining the family in six months, Lori also reflects on what she sees differently now after raising four sons—and why the ordinary work of parenting carries more weight than we often realize.
In this episode:
Why biblical parenting must begin with Scripture
What leaving social media clarified about conviction and priorities
What’s new at Legacy Parenting
Why family discipleship belongs in everyday life
What three new grandchildren are teaching Lori about legacy
Why faithful parenting often bears fruit we may not see for years
