Episode Description from the Publisher

Can discipline become one of the greatest opportunities to share the gospel with your children?In this special episode, Bethany is joined by her husband, Troy Kimsey, for an honest conversation about how God transformed their approach to parenting. Rather than simply raising well-behaved children, they share how the Lord taught them to pursue something much deeper—a child's heart.Together, Bethany and Troy explore why discipline isn't about behavior modification but heart transformation. They discuss how seeing children through God's eyes changes the way we parent, why every child's unique personality is part of God's design, and how the gospel reshapes the way we respond to disobedience, strong wills, and everyday parenting challenges.In this episode, you'll learn:Why the goal of parenting is heart transformation—not behavior modificationHow discipline reveals what your child believes at the heart levelWhy your children are in process, not a productHow to see your child's unique personality through God's eyesPractical ways to use discipline as an opportunity to share the gospelWhy your identity—and your child's identity—is not based on performanceGod hasn't called you to manufacture perfect children. He's invited you to partner with Him as He shapes their hearts.Parent with grace. Speak life.
