What does life look like when two sinners decide to live together and build a family? We have conversations concerning relationships, marriage, and parenting from a biblical perspective. Jon and Judith have been married for 20 years and have 4 children ages 6-18yrs. Jon is the founding pastor of Grace Reformed Church in Spring Hill, TN.
In this episode, Jon and Judith discuss chapter 5 of the book "For the Love of Discipline: When the Gospel Intersects with Tantrums and Time-Outs." How do we know if we are being too strict or too permissive with our parenting? When do we "choose our battles?" What does giving our children grace look like? These are meaningful discussions concerning the battlefield of our children's hearts.

Teaching the Fear of the Lord
In this episode, Jon and Judith discuss the contents of chapter 4 from the book titled "For the Love of Discipline: When the Gospel Intersects with Tantrums and Time-Outs." Fear is a multifaceted concept, yet from a biblical perspective, it reveals the awe-inspiring and transformative nature of God. Guiding our children to revere the Lord involves instilling in them the confidence to rely on a higher power beyond their own capabilities. How can we nurture our children to recognize and have faith in God throughout their developmental stages, rather than solely relying on themselves? We trust that this episode provides valuable insights and encouragement on this journey.

Discipline VS Punishment
Is punishment the same as discipline? Definitely not! In this segment, Jon and Judith Moffit shed light on how the gospel influences discipline, emphasizing that punishment is a detached and impersonal approach that doesn't align with our roles as godly parents. Making this crucial distinction plays a significant role in molding our children's hearts towards their connection with God.

How to Prepare for Parenting
In this segment, Jon and Judith Moffitt delve into chapter one, titled "The Game Plan: Let's Get Ready." While discipline may sometimes carry a negative connotation, it is not portrayed that way in the Bible. The biblical perspective emphasizes that discipline should stem from a place of love rather than being perceived as punitive. Furthermore, it is not a choice but a responsibility for all parents. How should we tackle this aspect? We trust that contemplating your connection with your heavenly father and your role as a parent will be encouraging.

The Battle for Your Children
Peter calls us to be "watchful" because there is an "adversary" who seeks to devour (1 Pet 5:8). Our homes are not immune to this warning. We often live oblivious to our children's dangers simply because we can't see them. In this episode, Jon and Judith discuss how to help prepare your children to face the many threats brought to them through life and how to lead your children toward the joy of loving and serving Christ in the kingdom. At the end of the episodes, they answer one of your questions about starting too late in your parenting.

How to Win an Argument
Our words are powerful. We often use them to cut and manipulate. When we are not careful with our words, we can cause lasting damage. Our words can also be how we love and build each other up. It is important to reflect love and mercy in our words to our spouse and children. Jon and Judith provide helpful insights and examples of what this could look like.

Parenting with a Purpose (Part 1)
Jon and Judith Moffitt help parents find the purpose and joy of parenting from a biblical perspective. We are all guilty of parenting our children based on the public perspective (what others will think of me because of our kids). We often get angry with our children because they cause discomfort. This is not what God has called us to love and teach our children. The Moffitts use their own mistakes in parenting to help guide you to think through how to love and care for your children from a Christ-centered perspective.
